AWS AmazonECS documentation change

Summary

Added placeholder section for platform version 1.4.0 and removed detailed changelog for version 1.3.0

Security assessment

The change removes documentation about security-adjacent features like secrets injection and secure log configuration from the 1.3.0 changelog, but does not indicate any active security vulnerability. The addition of 1.4.0 contains no security-related content. This appears to be routine version history maintenance rather than addressing a specific security issue.
