Only Export EMF Logs Config

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

We are sending emf logs to CloudWatch exporter to get emf metrics. The receiver sometimes receives non emf logs. We want the exporter to drop logs that are not in emf format so it will not send those logs to the backend.

Describe the solution you'd like

I have a poc that drops non emf logs in the exporter.

Describe alternatives you've considered

None

Additional context

This is being backwards compatible with CloudWatch Agent.

Hey @sethAmazon,

Could this also be accomplished by using a filter processor on logs that don't match your expected shape?
