Subject: [PATCH] docs: outputs: cloudwatch: add workers, fix classic key
 casing, fix bool values

  - Add missing workers parameter with correct default of 1
  - Apply Title_Case to all [OUTPUT] keys across all 5 classic config examples
  - Fix auto_create_group boolean: true -> On in classic config metrics examples
  - Align [INPUT] and [FILTER] key spacing in classic config examples for consistency

  Applies to #2412
