Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I am trying to run the otel collector in AWS Appstream. The default profile of the Appstream instance is an assumed role created by AWS and it will try to export the logs to a different account instead of my own AWS account. Thus, when I run aws commands in appstream, i would need to include the --profile appstream_machine_role in the command that i'm running to allow appstream to assume this role and interact with other services in my AWS account.

Describe the solution you'd like

Include a role_arn option in the awscloudwatchlogs exporter, similar to the aws emf exporter so that the collector can assume that role and export the log to cloudwatch in my own aws account.
