Feature request: Lambda Logs definition in template

[GuidoNebiolo]

Describe your idea/feature/enhancement

I wish the SAM Translator would generate also the CloudWatch LogGroup for a declared Lambda.
In this way the deployment will be consistent during deletion and delete also the log group.

Proposal

Additional property for AWS::Serverless::Function which generate the AWS::Logs::LogGroup associated.

Now:

  MyService:
    Type: AWS::Serverless::Function
    Properties:
      ...

  MyLogs:
    Type: AWS::Logs::LogGroup
    Properties:
      LogGroupName: !Sub /aws/lambda/${MyService}

Proposal:

  MyService:
    Type: AWS::Serverless::Function
    Properties:
      LogGroup: enabled

or

  MyService:
    Type: AWS::Serverless::Function
    Properties:
      LogGroup:
        RetentionInDays: 7
        DeletionPolicy: Retain/Delete

Things to consider:
[ ] The SAM documentation will need to be updated
[ ] Compatibility with previous version, if the new property is not explicitly provided, the log group should not be generated
