Add Lambda Function Names to amplify_outputs.json

[MattWlodarski]

Describe the feature you'd like to request

Please add the amplify generated Lambda Function names to the amplify_outputs.json file that is automatically generated when you create/update your sandbox. I think the json object could follow the same structure as what you currently have in the "storage" json object just with different key names.

This would be really nice to have for situations where I want to invoke a function inside of another function. I need the full name of the function in order to do this.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add a "function" json object to the amplify_outpus.json file as described above.

Describe alternatives you've considered

You can add the function name as an environment variable in your backend.ts file, but last time I tried this I ran into circular dependency issues. The solution outlines above is way easier for me and would save me the effort of always having to add environment variables to the lambda function.
