AWS aws-backup documentation change

Summary

Added new section 'Logically air-gapped vault quotas' with concurrent copy limits for various resource types

Security assessment

The change documents operational quotas for 'logically air-gapped vaults', which implies security-related isolation capabilities. However, there is no explicit mention of addressing vulnerabilities or security incidents - this appears to be documentation of existing security feature limitations rather than a response to a security issue.
