AWS amazonq documentation change

File: amazonq/latest/qdeveloper-ug/code-transformation.md

Summary

Added clarification about library/dependency upgrades requiring separate transformation

Security assessment

The change improves documentation clarity about code transformation limitations but doesn't directly address security vulnerabilities or introduce security features. While dependency management has security implications, the change itself is procedural rather than security-focused.
