AWS appstream2 documentation change

File: appstream2/latest/developerguide/create-image-that-always-uses-latest-agent.md

Summary

Updated product name references from 'AppStream 2.0' to 'WorkSpaces Applications' throughout the document, including agent references and console names

Security assessment

The changes are primarily branding updates (AppStream 2.0 → WorkSpaces Applications) without introducing new security content. While the document mentions security updates as a benefit of using latest agent versions, this was already present in the original text. No specific security vulnerabilities or new security features are addressed.
