I think there is actually an error in Docs.
Afaik resource `__init__` can take `args` or arguments directly

```    def __init__(__self__,
                 resource_name: str,
                 args: Optional[ZoneArgs] = None,
                 opts: Optional[pulumi.ResourceOptions] = None):```
`args` is later in the code assigned to `__props__`
I have a feeling that `props` argument name came from JS/TS in this case and therefore is a typo in docs.

As for the usage of props, here is an example.
```# with props
route53.Zone(
    args=route53.ZoneArgs(name="<http://example.com|example.com>")
)
# without props
route53.Zone(name="<http://example.com|example.com>")```
<@UCWG26BH7> Could you please verify the correctness of my statement, we could then fix the docs together. Thank you!

i'm not actually sure myself, could you open an issue in pulumi/docs and I'll have someone verify it <@U025964HAJH>
