Include cm-resource-parent in guidance
We should update AVD's tagging guidance to leverage a new preview feature in Microsoft Cost Management: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/costs/enable-preview-features-cost-management-labs#group-related-resources-in-the-cost-analysis-preview cm-resource-parent can be used to group costs by any taggable Azure resource. Since we suspect many AVD customers would be interested in viewing costs by host pool, I added this guidance under the "Suggested tags for Azure Virtual Desktop host pools" section, in its own subsection at the bottom. Open to changing this addition's location if it makes more sense to be less prescriptive on how we recommend customers use this unique tag or if there's a better way to make this information more discoverable.

### Using cm-resource-parent to automatically group costs by host pool in Microsoft Cost Management
80+
In addition to any existing tags you've applied to your host pool resources, you can also leverage the cm-resource-parent tag to group costs by your host pool. This tag will not impact billing, but it will allow you to review these costs without filtering in Microsoft Cost Management. The key of this tag is "cm-resource-parent" and the value is the ResourceID of the Azure resource you want to group costs by, like each host pool you want to deploy. To learn more about how to use cm-resource-parent, review [Group related resources in the cost analysis preview](../cost-management-billing/costs/enable-preview-features-cost-management-labs#group-related-resources-in-the-cost-analysis-preview).
