provider/aws: fix force_delete on ASGs

The `ForceDelete` parameter was getting sent to the upstream API call,
but only after we had already finished draining instances from
Terraform, so it was a moot point by then.

This fixes that by skipping the drain when force_delete is true, and it
also simplifies the field config a bit:

 * set a default of false to simplify the logic
 * remove `ForceNew` since there's no need to replace the resource to
   flip this value
 * pull a detail comment from code into the docs
