AWS securityhub documentation change

Summary

Updated documentation links and replaced 'Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM)' with 'CSPM' for brevity. Added guidance about enabling CIS v3.0.0 and maintaining multiple standard versions.

Security assessment

Changes involve terminology simplification (CSPM abbreviation) and documentation link updates. While CIS benchmarks are security-related, these changes do not address a specific vulnerability or introduce new security features. The version upgrade recommendation is routine guidance.

-This section summarizes the differences between specific versions of the Center for Internet Security (CIS) AWS Foundations Benchmark—v3.0.0, v1.4.0, and v1.2.0. AWS Security Hub Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) supports each of these versions of the CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark. However, we recommend using v3.0.0 to stay current with security best practices. You can have multiple versions of the standard enabled at the same time. For information about enabling standards, see [Enabling a security standard](./enable-standards.html). If you want to upgrade to v3.0.0, enable it before you disable an older version. This prevents gaps in your security checks. If you use the Security Hub CSPM integration with AWS Organizations and want to batch enable v3.0.0 in multiple accounts, we recommend using [central configuration](./central-configuration-intro.html).
