Description
### Describe the feature
The `CfnAppMonitor` construct supports a [cwLogEnabled](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_rum.CfnAppMonitorProps.html#cwlogenabled) flag for creating CloudWatch logs associated with CloudWatch RUM. However, there's no way to either control or obtain the name of the log group.
The log group appears to follow the naming pattern
```
RUMService_${}${.slice(0, 8)}
```
The problem is that the ID is, itself, unknown at build time. Therefore, AFAICT there's no way to reference those logs from other CDK constructs.
### Use Case
I'd like to configure a Lambda to take actions based on certain events in the RUM logs, such as paging the engineering team.
### Proposed Solution
Other constructs that have a log option (such as `Distribution`'s [enableLogging](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_cloudfront.Distribution.html#enablelogging)) typically also expose a way of controlling the name/bucket for the logs.
It might also be possible for the construct to offer a `LogGroup` getter that, internally, uses `LogGroup.fromLogGroupName` (though I'm not sure on the details of how it would obtain the name, since the AppMonitor ID isn't determined until deploy time).

Research direction
Start with the CfnAppMonitor construct and its cwLogEnabled option, then compare how Distribution exposes control over logging resources. Investigate how the AppMonitor ID and generated CloudWatch log group name become available at deployment time. Done means a supported way for other CDK constructs to control or reference the RUM log group.
