AWS cli medium security documentation change

File: cli/latest/reference/quicksight/update-dashboard-permissions.md

Summary

Updated CLI version reference and added restrictions for action connectors in sharing configurations

Security assessment

Added explicit statements that namespace sharing and account root sharing are not supported for action connectors. This clarifies security boundaries by preventing over-permissive sharing configurations that could lead to unauthorized access through action connectors. The changes address potential misconfiguration risks.
