AWS IAM documentation change

Service: IAM · 2025-07-18 · Documentation low

File: IAM/latest/UserGuide/iam_example_iam_Scenario_CreateUserAssumeRole_section.md

Summary

Updated code examples to use Kotlin multi-line strings and fromEnvironment() method for client initialization

Security assessment

Changes are syntax improvements and code style updates. No security vulnerabilities addressed or security features documented. The S3 policy still uses 'Resource': '*' which is a security concern but this was not modified in the change.
