Update documentation for type_name attribute on aws_kinesis_firehose_delivery_stream resource

[clebio]

The documentation for kinesis_firehose_delivery_stream states that type_name is required:

type_name - (Required) The Elasticsearch type name with maximum length of 100 characters.

This is no longer accurate.

Hi @clebio 👋 Thank you for reporting this and sorry you ran into trouble here. This does appear to be outdated documentation. The current resource schema does denote this as optional instead of required:

https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-aws/blob/374a49a5878e95a70e7c2a4f3cb88a6e68da8df0/aws/resource_aws_kinesis_firehose_delivery_stream.go#L1218-L1222

If you or anyone is interested in updating the documentation for this argument, it can be found in the website/docs/r/kinesis_firehose_delivery_stream.html.markdown file in this repository. 👍

The documentation update has been merged and will be reflected in v3.8.0 of the provider, likely out this Thursday.
