AWS powershell documentation change
Summary
Updated multiple documentation links to use versioned (v5) URLs instead of 'latest' for Initialize-AWSDefaultConfiguration and Get-AWSPowerShellVersion cmdlets
Security assessment
The changes are purely documentation URL version updates. While the Initialize-AWSDefaultConfiguration cmdlet relates to credential management, the update does not add new security guidance or address vulnerabilities.
