Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently the cloudwatch_logs sink does not support the pushing of log events to a dlq if an error occurs.

Describe the solution you'd like
To solve this issue, an S3 and file dlq can be passed into the sink to allow for errored out log events to be saved for later viewing or retransmission.

Additional context
The addition of the DLQ would require the extension of the existing cloudwatch_logs sink, including its configuration.
