AWS workmail documentation change

Service: workmail · 2025-03-19 · Documentation low

File: workmail/latest/adminguide/authenticate_mode.md

Added clarifying descriptions to authentication mode options (IAM Identity Center only vs combined with WorkMail Directory)

Security assessment

Textual clarifications of existing authentication modes without introducing new security features or addressing specific vulnerabilities. Improves documentation clarity but doesn't change security posture.
