Added PowerShell V5 example demonstrating policy version retrieval and URL decoding

Security assessment

Shows inspection of IAM policy versions, which is security-relevant, but doesn't address vulnerabilities. The documentation improvement helps users audit policies but doesn't introduce new security controls.
