Docs about Cloudwatch log group in "Monitoring Runtime Logging" incorrect. #658

Description

@jamestelfer

In resource-type-develop.md, the section Monitoring Runtime Logging for Resource Types contains incorrect information:

  1. The group is not created by Cloudformation during cfn submit
  2. The naming scheme for the log group is incorrect

I think the corrected text would state that (a) the group is created by the Cloudformation runtime when the resource is first run, and (b) the naming scheme is my-resource-type-logs, where my-resource-type is the three-part resource type name.

Also, it could be noted that each plugin has varying requirements for logging to be emitted. For example, the Go plugin requires a build argument to enable it (see aws-cloudformation/cloudformation-cli-go-plugin#187).
