AWS gamelift documentation change
Summary
Updated documentation to reflect rebranding from 'Amazon GameLift' to 'Amazon GameLift Servers' throughout the document, including service references, SDK names, and URL paths. Changed terminology from 'managed EC2' to 'Servers managed EC2' and updated related links.
Security assessment
The changes primarily involve branding and terminology updates without introducing new security content or addressing specific vulnerabilities. Security mentions (e.g., 'security, reliability, and global availability') remain unchanged from previous version.
