Description
### Is this feature request related to a new or existing Amplify category?
New category
### Is this related to another service?
Cloudformation
### Describe the feature you'd like to request
I have been using terraform mostly for IaC, and they have this command `terraform plan` which shows detail changes of what attributes are added, removed, or modified, or if resource going to be created or destroyed. I believe in Cloudformation this is done through **changesets** I think this would be very helpful before running `amplify push`.
Actually this issue has been mentioned before in #366 and the proposed solution was to use `amplify status -v` However this shows only a simple update. For example, I created a new table in `schema.graphql` file, and with `amplify status -v` it only shows that my `api` resource needs to be updated with no information of what's going to be updated
### Describe the solution you'd like
For example, if I add a new table, `amplify status -v` could show:
```
New resource:
Dyanmodb table NewTable will be created
Dynamodb table OldTable will be removed
```
### Describe alternatives you've considered
It would be great if we have a command like `amplify plan` to see what's going to be updated
### Additional context
_No response_
