AWS AmazonS3 documentation change
Summary
Updated documentation to consistently specify 'general purpose buckets' in access point terminology, section titles, and links. Added qualifiers to clarify scope of access point functionality.
Security assessment
Changes focus on clarifying terminology and scope rather than addressing security vulnerabilities. While access points inherently relate to security controls, the modifications here are documentation refinements rather than responses to security issues or new security features.
