Azure-docs: Consideration of child resources missing in documentation for DeployIfNotExists effect

[fawohlsc]

When describing the DeployIfNotExists properties in our docs, it's stated for the Name property that when the condition values for if.field.type and then.details.type match, then Name becomes required and must be [field('name')]. This is not entirely correct, since for sub resources like subnets this will result in an error during policy evaluation. For sub resources the comparison must be [field('fullName')]
