File: ec2/latest/devguide/example_ec2_DescribeImageAttribute_section.md

Summary

Added PowerShell V5 examples for DescribeImageAttribute including AMI description retrieval, launch permissions check, and enhanced networking (sriovNetSupport) verification

Security assessment

The change documents how to check AMI launch permissions and enhanced networking settings, which are security-related configurations. However, this is routine documentation of existing features rather than addressing a specific security vulnerability.
