AWS devicefarm documentation change

Summary

Removed code examples for rate limiting and replaced with support contact instructions.

Security assessment

Simplifies rate limit troubleshooting guidance but does not address a security vulnerability or add security documentation. Rate limiting adjustments are operational, not security fixes.

-To mitigate the rate limit of 150 actions per second across WebDriver sessions, you can use a custom `CommandExecuter` that automatically limits the rate of outgoing requests. The following example demonstrates how to accomplish this: 
-
-Java
-    
-    
-    
-    import org.openqa.selenium.remote.HttpCommandExecutor;
-    import org.openqa.selenium.remote.Response;
-    import org.openqa.selenium.remote.Command;
-    import java.io.IOException;
-    import java.time.Instant;
-    import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
-    
-    class RateLimitExecutor extends HttpCommandExecutor {
-    
-        public static final int CONCURRENT_SESSIONS = 100;
-        public static final int ACTIONS_RATE_LIMIT_PER_SECOND = 150;
-    
-        public static final double SECONDS_PER_ACTION = ((double) CONCURRENT_SESSIONS)
-                / ((double) ACTIONS_RATE_LIMIT_PER_SECOND);
-        private long lastExecutionTime;
-    
-        public RateLimitExecutor(URL addressOfRemoteServer) {
-            super(addressOfRemoteServer);
-            lastExecutionTime = 0;
-        }
-    
-        public Response execute(Command command) throws IOException {
-            long currentTime = Instant.now().toEpochMilli();
-            double elapsedTime = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(currentTime - lastExecutionTime);
-            if (elapsedTime < SECONDS_PER_ACTION) {
-                try {
-                    Thread.sleep(TimeUnit.SECONDS.toMillis((long)(SECONDS_PER_ACTION - elapsedTime)));
-                } catch (InterruptedException e) {
-                    e.printStackTrace();
-                }
-            }
-            lastExecutionTime = Instant.now().toEpochMilli();
-            return super.execute(command);
-        }
-    }

-When calling the constructor for the remote `WebDriver`, use an instance of this new class as the `command_executor` parameter:
-    
-    
-    RemoteWebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new RateLimitExecutor(testGridUrl), new FirefoxOptions());

-            super().__init__(*args)
-            self.last_execution_time = None
