Summary

Added PowerShell V5 examples for DescribeInstanceAttribute API including security group, termination protection, and enhanced networking attributes

Security assessment

The change adds examples showing how to retrieve security-related attributes like security groups (groupSet) and termination protection (disableApiTermination). While these are security features, the change only demonstrates their retrieval rather than addressing a specific vulnerability or security incident.
