Added PowerShell V5 example for generating and retrieving IAM credential reports

Security assessment

Documents credential auditing features but does not indicate remediation of a security flaw. Credential reports are security tools but this is routine documentation.

+**Example 1: This example opens the returned report and outputs it to the pipeline as an array of text lines. The first line is the header with comma-separated column names. Each successive row is the detail row for one user, with each field separated by commas. Before you can view the report, you must generate it with the`Request-IAMCredentialReport` cmdlet. To retrieve the report as a single string, use `-Raw` instead of `-AsTextArray`. The alias `-SplitLines` is also accepted for the `-AsTextArray` switch. For the full list of columns in the output consult the service API reference. Note that if you do not use `-AsTextArray` or `-SplitLines`, then you must extract the text from the `.Content` property using the .NET `StreamReader` class.**
