AWS amazonglacier documentation change

Service: amazonglacier · 2025-10-01 · Documentation low

File: amazonglacier/latest/dev/getting-started-upload-archive.md

Summary

Updated references from 'S3 Glacier' to 'Glacier' throughout the documentation, removed redundant 'S3' prefixes in service names and links

Security assessment

The changes are purely branding/naming updates (removing 'S3' from service references) and do not introduce, modify, or address any security-related content. The existing mention of 'advanced optional encryption features' remains unchanged.
