/**
 * True when an array is safely recognizable as a `DependsOn` list to reorder.
 * Both conditions must hold:
 *
 * - Position: the array is the value of `DependsOn` sitting directly on a
 *   resource definition, i.e. the path is exactly
 *   `["Resources", <logicalID>, "DependsOn"]`. `DependsOn` only ever appears in
 *   this position in CloudFormation, so it is scoped there and nowhere else.
 * - Shape: every element is a string. A single-string `DependsOn` (also valid)
 *   is not an array and never reaches here; an array holding any non-string
 *   element is left to the normal array handling.
 *
 * `DependsOn` order is insignificant in CloudFormation, so sorting it is safe.
