camel-aws-cloudwatch-sink-kafka-connector sink configuration

Connector Description: Send data to Amazon CloudWatch metrics. The basic authentication method for the AWS CloudWatch metrics service is to specify an access key and a secret key. These parameters are optional because the Kamelet provides a default credentials provider. If you use the default credentials provider, the CloudWatch client loads the credentials through this provider and doesn’t use the basic authentication method. You can set the following properties in the header: `metric-name` / `ce-metricname` for the metric name. `metric-value` / `ce-metricvalue` for the metric value. `metric-unit` / `ce-metricunit` for the metric unit. `metric-timestamp` / `ce-metrictimestamp` for the metric timestamp. `metric-dimension-name` / `ce-metricdimensionname` for the dimension name. `metric-dimension-value` / `ce-metricdimensionvalue` for the dimension value.
