Tracking the progress of your addons when running "copilot deploy"

[efekarakus]

Hi y'all!

In Copilot v1.2.0, we added support to visualize the status of your deployment when running copilot deploy (#1742). Here is a sample gif:

The progress tracker can track updates for your addon templates. If you have already existing templates under addons/ and want to view updates when running copilot deploy, you can do so by adding a Metadata attribute to your resources. For example:

Resources:
  MyTable:
    Metadata:
      'aws:copilot:description': 'My DynamoDB table'
    Type: AWS::DynamoDB::Table

By adding the 'aws:copilot:description' Metadata, Copilot can now render the 'My DynamoDB table' description when running copilot deploy.

For new addons, we'll add a description by default.
