AWS linux documentation change
Summary
Refocused content on AL2, removed Amazon Linux AMI end-of-life notice, updated references to AL2023 documentation, and adjusted procedure headers to specify AL2 instances.
Security assessment
Removal of EOL notice constitutes documentation maintenance rather than addressing a current security vulnerability. Changes emphasize supported platforms but do not introduce new security-related content or directly mitigate security issues.
