AWS opensearch-service documentation change
Summary
Updated documentation to clarify supported OpenSearch/Elasticsearch versions, added extended support details, fixed typos, and updated service links to HTTPS. Split support schedules into separate tables for Elasticsearch and OpenSearch.
Security assessment
The changes include explicit mentions of security updates being provided during extended support periods ('AWS provides critical security fixes for a period of at least 12 months after end of standard support'). However, there is no evidence of addressing a specific security vulnerability. The updates primarily clarify support policies and pricing, with security documentation being a secondary aspect.

For versions under Extended Support, AWS provides critical security fixes for a period of at least 12 months after end of standard support, for an additional flat fee each Normalized Instance Hour (NIH). NIH is computed as a factor of the instance size (e.g. medium, large), and number of instance hours (see calculating extended support charges section below for an example). Extended support charges are applied automatically when a domain is running a version for which standard support has ended. You can upgrade to a recent version that is still covered under standard support to avoid extended support charges. For more information on extended support charges, see the [pricing page](https://aws.amazon.com/opensearch-service/pricing/#Extended_support_costs).

NIH is computed as a factor of the instance size (e.g., medium, large), and the number of instance hours. For example, if you are running an m7g.medium.search instance for 24 hours in the US East (North Virginia) Region, which is priced at $0.068/Instance hour (on-demand), you will typically pay $1.632 ($0.068x24). If you are running a version that is in extended support, you will pay an additional $0.0065/NIH, which is computed as $0.0065 x 24 (number of instance hours) x 2 (size normalization factor; 2 for medium-sized instances), which comes to $0.312 for extended support for 24 hours. The total amount you will pay for 24 hours will be a sum of the standard instance usage cost and the extended support cost, which is $1.944 ($1.632+$0.312).
