AWS managedservices documentation change
Summary
Updated documentation to replace 'Snowball' with 'Snowball Edge' throughout the file, reflecting product naming consistency. Changed references in titles, body content, FAQs, and links to specify the Edge variant.
Security assessment
Changes are purely branding/naming updates from 'Snowball' to 'Snowball Edge' without introducing new security information or addressing vulnerabilities. Existing security mentions (e.g., encryption) were already present in original text.
