problem_statement: Supression skip comments for CloudFormation templates
Suppression does not appear to work for CloudFormation templates. For example with the following group, adding skip commitfor `CKV_AWS_24` to not get a warning from SSH port open.  

```
  #checkov:skip=CKV_AWS_24:
  SecurityGroup:
    Type: AWS::EC2::SecurityGroup
    Properties:
      GroupDescription: Folding@home spot instance security group
      VpcId: !Ref VpcId
      SecurityGroupIngress:
        - IpProtocol: tcp
          FromPort: 22
          ToPort: 22
          CidrIp: !Ref SSHLocation
      SecurityGroupEgress:
        - IpProtocol: udp
          FromPort: 53
          ToPort: 53
          CidrIp: 0.0.0.0/0
        - IpProtocol: udp
          FromPort: 123
          ToPort: 123
          CidrIp: 0.0.0.0/0
        - IpProtocol: tcp
          FromPort: 80
          ToPort: 80
          CidrIp: 0.0.0.0/0
        - IpProtocol: tcp
          FromPort: 8080
          ToPort: 8080
          CidrIp: 0.0.0.0/0
        - IpProtocol: tcp
          FromPort: 443
          ToPort: 443
          CidrIp: 0.0.0.0/0
```
Please implement supression for CloudFormation templates also.
