AWS gamelift documentation change
Summary
Updated documentation to consistently use 'Amazon GameLift Servers' branding, updated SDK references, and revised migration guidance for server SDK 5.x
Security assessment
Changes primarily involve branding updates (changing 'Amazon GameLift' to 'Amazon GameLift Servers'), URL updates, and migration guidance for SDK versions. No concrete evidence of security vulnerability fixes or security-specific content additions. The AL2 end-of-support notice is operational rather than security-related.
