AWS quicksight documentation change

Summary

Removed two sample IAM policies for dashboard embedding permissions

Security assessment

While IAM policies are security-related, removing examples without explanation does not directly indicate a security vulnerability. This seems to be documentation simplification rather than addressing a specific security issue.
