Removed specific JSON policy examples for CreateGroup and CreateSamplingRule actions from IAM documentation

Security assessment

Removal of policy examples appears to be documentation cleanup rather than security-related. No indication these examples were insecure or related to vulnerabilities. Maintains general security documentation structure without adding new security content.
