AWS appstream2 documentation change
Summary
Updated product name references from 'AppStream 2.0' to 'WorkSpaces Applications' throughout the document, including titles, descriptions, and release notes entries. Modified links and terminology to align with rebranding.
Security assessment
The changes are purely branding/terminology updates (AppStream 2.0 → WorkSpaces Applications) without introducing new security content. Existing security-related notes about automatic security updates and certificate validation fixes remain functionally unchanged, just with updated product names. No new vulnerabilities or security features are documented.
