Closes #85

The problem of the bug is, that stream references are implemented as relation from the alias stack to the base stack, but using Fn::Import. As that works for most cases, it breaks with DynamoDB streams, because their ARNs change between deploys. When CF tries to update the output variable that is referenced, it bails out, because all outputs that are referenced by Fn::ImportValue are made read-only and their values must not change anymore.

I implemented a solution in a way, that instead of the read-only reference, now the plain arn is fetched via the API from the base stack and added to the alias stack. Now it will succeed, even if the ARN changes.
This change does not mean any descrease in reliability or protection of the resources, because that is already guaranteed by the ImportValues that are used to reference the resources themselves.
As the reference resolution is deferred now, I also had to move the sequence of uploading the CF alias template behind the upload of the base stack. This has no effects on the plugin or its execution.

Resolve deferred outputs before uploading the template

Modified logging to show resolutions

Use non-locking deferred outputs for event references.

I will do a unit test cleanup in a separate PR. There are lots of tests missing (e.g. stackInformation, etc.)
