AWS cli documentation change
Summary
Updated CLI version reference, expanded scope to include root users in password deletion documentation, and added API hyperlinks
Security assessment
Explicitly including root user password management improves security documentation clarity. While important for security hygiene, there's no indication this fixes an active vulnerability.
