AWS waf documentation change
Summary
Updated documentation to include 'protection pack' terminology alongside web ACLs throughout the guide, reflecting expanded functionality. Added section about new console experience.
Security assessment
Changes primarily involve terminology updates (adding 'protection pack' references) and UI navigation instructions. No specific security vulnerabilities or weaknesses are addressed. The documentation continues to describe existing security controls (managed rule groups) but doesn't introduce new security features or address known vulnerabilities.
