AWS waf documentation change
Summary
Updated documentation to introduce new console experience and integrate 'protection pack' terminology alongside web ACLs. Changed section headers, rule priority references, and handling descriptions to include protection packs.
Security assessment
The changes primarily focus on UI/UX updates (new console experience) and terminology expansion to include 'protection packs'. No specific security vulnerabilities, mitigations, or security feature enhancements are mentioned. The updates appear to be organizational/terminological rather than security-focused.
