(logs): Adding Tags to LogGroups Construct Not working

See original GitHub issue

Description

I’m trying to add tags to a LogGroup and tags are not being added. Deployment is successful but not tags are added.

Reproduction Steps

const lg = new LogGroup(this, `lg`, {
        logGroupName: `/aws/appsync/apis/${this.graphQLApi.attrApiId}`,
        removalPolicy: RemovalPolicy.DESTROY,
});
Tags.of(lg).add('stringKey','stringValue');

What did you expect to happen?

Tags to be added to the log group

What actually happened?

No tags were added

Environment

OS : MacOs

Seems like support was added to CloudFormation for this, but it hasn’t been officially released yet due to some security review. https://github.com/aws-cloudformation/aws-cloudformation-resource-providers-logs/pull/53

I assume once that goes through, support can be added to CDK without much difficulty?

Strangely adding tags to LogGroup is not supported by CloudFormation (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-logs-loggroup.html) but it is possible to add tags through the API (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatchLogs/latest/APIReference/API_TagLogGroup.html)
