Issue # (if applicable)

#9741

Reason for this change

There has been confusion about why ParameterGroup constructs don't appear in CloudFormation templates when created without being bound to a database instance or cluster. Since #8959, ParameterGroup uses a lazy creation pattern where CloudFormation resources are only generated when the parameter group is bound to an instance or cluster (either explicitly via bindToInstance()/bindToCluster() or implicitly when passed to a DatabaseInstance/DatabaseCluster). Adding documentation to explain standalone parameter group creation more clearly.
