In order to allow tools that read a CloudFormation template created by the CDK to be able to present the CDK path of resources in the template, the CDK now embeds the full path as CloudFormation metadata "aws:cdk:path" entry for each resource. To disable this behavior use the switch `--no-path-metadata` or set `pathMetadata` to `false` in `cdk.json` or `~/.cdk.json`. The toolkit can control this behavior by setting the "aws:cdk:enable-path-metadata" context key. It sets it to `true` by default. The default behavior of the *Resource class* is _not_ to include metadata. This is in order to maintain backwards compatibility for tests. `cdk-integ` also disables this by default. Fixes #1182 Related #1121

- When possible, display element's construct path alongside logical ID (fixes #1121) - Sort changes according to type: removed > added > updated > other - Add section headers: parameters, resources, output (fixes #1120) - Reduce clutter and emojis To display construct path we fuse metadata from the synthesized output (CDK metadata) and info from the the "aws:cdk:path" CloudFormation metadata (if exists).
