AWS snowball documentation change

Summary

Updated region support entries and NFC validation app references to use 'Snowball Edge' instead of 'Snowball', including link text changes

Security assessment

Changes focus on product name consistency and region availability updates. Existing security reference to NFC validation remains unchanged except for app name adjustment ('AWS Snowball Edge Verification App' to 'AWS Snowball Edge Edge Verification App'), which appears to be a typo rather than a security-related change.
