Subject: [PATCH] feat(query): Provide a default query if not specified (#188)

**Old Behavior**

If the query parameter was not provided - the `[0]` arg - then an error
would be returned
```
No query provided
```

**New Behavior**

This merge request defaults the query to
```
      fields @timestamp, @message, @logStream, @log
      | sort @timestamp desc
```

(if not provided).

**Testing**

Screenshot of the output from a manual test
```
No Cloudwatch Insight Query provided. Defaulting to:

      fields @timestamp, @message, @logStream, @log
      | sort @timestamp desc

Querying between 2023-10-06T20:43:15.096Z and 2023-10-06T21:43:15.096Z
    for 1 log group(s): ["/aws/lambda/CoreAPI-processesTaskGeneratePatientExport"]

    0 records (0.00 MB) scanned, 0 matched

No results returned.
```
