Description

When I add a Serverless Application and try to use an output parameter from that stack in the parent stack, Intellisense complains as an invalid key for this object, but it works fine when I deploy it.

Parent template:
`{`
` "AWSTemplateFormatVersion" : "2010-09-09",`
` "Transform" : "AWS::Serverless-2016-10-31",`
` "Resources" : { `
` "NestedStack" : {`
` "Type" : "AWS::Serverless::Application",`
` "Properties" : {`
` "Location" : "./serverless_nested.template"`
` }`
` }`
` },`
` "Outputs" : {`
` "NestedStackOutput" : {`
` "Value" : {"Fn::GetAtt" : [ "NestedStack", "Outputs.ApplicationOutputName"]}`
` }`
` }`
`}`

Nested template:

`{`
` "AWSTemplateFormatVersion" : "2010-09-09",`
` "Transform" : "AWS::Serverless-2016-10-31",`
` "Resources" : {`
` "OrdersTable" : {`
` "Type" : "AWS::Serverless::SimpleTable",`
` "Properties" : {`
` "TableName" : "Order",`
` "PrimaryKey" : {`
` "Name" : "Id",`
` "Type" : "Number"`
` },`
` "ProvisionedThroughput" : {`
` "ReadCapacityUnits" : 5,`
` "WriteCapacityUnits" : 5`
` }`
` }`
` }`
` },`
` "Outputs" : {`
` "ApplicationOutputName" : {`
` "Value" : { "Ref" : "OrdersTable" }`
` }`
` }`
`}`

## Expected Behavior
Intellisense was to accept this content.

## Current Behavior
Intellisense underline and colour the tag in red and shows a hint saying "Outputs.ApplicationOutputName is an unknown attribute for this resource".

## Possible Solution
I had a similar problem in the past ( #1191 ) and that was fixed by "updating the backing schema for the editor".

## Your Environment

Research direction

No repository file or test is named. Reproduce the warning with the parent and nested Serverless template examples in the issue, then trace the Visual Studio editor's backing schema; done means the Outputs.ApplicationOutputName attribute is accepted without an unknown-attribute warning.
