AWS powershell documentation change
Summary
Updated documentation to reflect release of AWS Tools for PowerShell V5, restructured content to focus on configuration/usage rather than installation, added sections about credential resolution, federated identity, observability, and user/role management
Security assessment
Added documentation about credential/profile resolution and federated identity configuration which are security-related features, but no evidence of addressing a specific vulnerability
