Updated documentation links to separate Amazon Cognito and OIDC access token mapping guides

The change adds more specific guidance about mapping different types of access tokens (Cognito vs OIDC) to schema, which improves security documentation but does not indicate a specific vulnerability being addressed. Enhanced token mapping documentation helps implement secure authentication patterns.
