Description

### Name of the resource

AWS::CloudFront::Function

### Resource name

_No response_

### Reference Link

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-cloudfront-function.html#cfn-cloudfront-function-name

### Details

Changing the `Name` attribute of a function _is_ a disruptive change that requires resource replacement. It is incorrect to document that it has no interruption as it will result in the creation of a new physical resource.

Research direction

Review the CloudFront Function Name attribute in the linked AWS CloudFormation reference. Verify the documented update behavior against the stated resource-replacement behavior, then update the documentation so it no longer says the change causes no interruption.
