aws_security_group_rule self also applies to egress?

This issue was originally opened by @trevorr as hashicorp/terraform#10579. It was migrated here as part of the provider split. The original body of the issue is below.

---

Is it just a doc bug that the docs for the aws_security_group_rule self argument imply that it's only for ingress rules?

self - (Optional) If true, the security group itself will be added as a source to this ingress rule.

Looking at its origins in hashicorp/terraform#219 (commit), it seems that it was added with ingress in mind, but looking at the code, it doesn't seem to matter. Perhaps ingress was the focus in those early days because most people don't restrict egress at all?

Should the word "ingress" be dropped and "source" become "source/target"?
