AWS AmazonRDS documentation change

Summary

Added Aurora PostgreSQL 17 to the list of supported versions for IAM database authentication

Security assessment

The change documents expanded version support for an existing security feature (IAM database authentication) but does not address a specific vulnerability or security incident. IAM authentication itself is a security feature, so this update adds documentation about its availability in newer PostgreSQL versions.
