filter_aws: send entity attributes for telemetry association

[zhihonl]

Background

CloudWatch introduced a new feature called Explored Related which is a UI component that helps user navigate between their telemetry(metrics,logs) and AWS resources. This is done by including a new field in PutLogEvents API which is called Entity. More documentation about this new field can be found here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatchLogs/latest/APIReference/API_Entity.html

Problem

Since FluentBit has a CloudWatch output plugin that emits logs to CloudWatch Logs, the output plugin needs to have enough information to populate the entity field. As part of this effort, we need to add additional logics in AWS plugin to send the appropriate data for CloudWatch output plugin.
