Error creating dynamodb table without StreamEnabled option

See original GitHub issue

Hi, there

I have a problem starting sls offline with dynamodb-local when i setup dynamodb stream. Error:

$ SLS_DEBUG=* $(yarn bin)/sls offline start
[offline] Invalidating cache...
[offline] Loading handler... (/project/src/functions/store)
Dynamodb Local Started, Visit: http://localhost:8000/shell
Serverless: DynamoDB - Error -

  Validation Exception -----------------------------------

     Stream StreamEnabled was null

     For debugging logs, run again after setting the "SLS_DEBUG=*" environment variable.

  Stack Trace --------------------------------------------

  Your Environment Information -----------------------------
     OS:                 darwin
     Node Version:       7.2.1
     Serverless Version: 1.10.2

My resource specification from serverless.yml:

resources:
  Resources:
    Table:
      Type: AWS::DynamoDB::Table
      Properties:
        TableName: ${self:custom.table}
        AttributeDefinitions:
          ...
        StreamSpecification:
          StreamViewType: NEW_AND_OLD_IMAGES

When i configure StreamEnabled: true - it works, but breaks deploy to AWS with error:

  Serverless Error ---------------------------------------
 
     An error occurred while provisioning your stack: Notifications
     - Encountered unsupported property StreamEnabled.

as StreamEnabled options seems to be not supported by CloudFormation doc
