/**
 * Chooses the comparator for an object's keys based on its structural position
 * in a CloudFormation template, identified by `path` (the keys traversed from
 * the root to reach the object).
 *
 * - Root object (`path` is empty): the fixed section order.
 * - The root `Resources` object itself (`["Resources"]`): its logical-ID entries
 *   are grouped by each resource's `Type`, then alphabetical by logical ID.
 * - A direct child of the root `Resources` section (`["Resources", <id>]`): the
 *   fixed resource attribute order.
 * - A direct child of the root `Outputs` section (`["Outputs", <name>]`): the
 *   fixed output entry order.
 * - A direct child of the root `Parameters` section (`["Parameters", <name>]`):
 *   the fixed parameter entry order.
 * - One of the curated IAM policy-document positions under a resource's
 *   `Properties` (see {@link resolvePolicyComparator}): the fixed policy document
 *   order, and within its `Statement`(s) the fixed policy statement order.
 * - Everywhere else: plain alphabetical order.
 *
 * The position is matched strictly by path, so a `Type` or `Properties` key that
 * merely appears deeper in the tree is left to alphabetical sorting.
