Drift detection: explicitly mark unchecked resources as "not checked", rather than skip from results table #1723

Description

I think the existence of the warning

Only resources which currently support drift detection are displayed here. To view all of your stack resources, see your stack details page.

indicates a usability bug.

Should instead include all of a stack's resources in the drift results table, and mark those that Cloudformation's drift detection doesn't support with a "not checked" warning message.

For stacks with a very small number of resources, spotting which of a stack's resources aren't in the drift results table is easy, but this quickly becomes error prone as a stack has more resources.

+1, the user should be able to see all resources in the drift detection. Any CFN Resources, which currently do not support Drift Detection, should be marked as something like "unsupported". It would also be great if the user had a "switch/toggle" to turn on/off the ability to see the unsupported resources. The current solution to "act like they don't exist" is not good.

i tend to agree. i little bit of visibility can go a long way in preventing unnecessary confusion and false-assumptions.
