AWS cli documentation change

File: cli/latest/reference/dsql/create-cluster.md

Summary

Added --policy and --bypass-policy-lockout-safety-check parameters for cluster resource policies

Security assessment

Introduces documentation for resource-based access policies and a safety check bypass flag. While the policy configuration relates to security controls, there is no evidence of addressing a specific vulnerability. The bypass parameter warns about potential lockout risks but does not indicate an active security issue.
