AWS IAM documentation change
Summary
Updated link text for federation documentation and fixed URL formatting in multiple links by adding double slashes after domain names.
Security assessment
Changes involve minor text corrections and URL formatting fixes. No security vulnerabilities are addressed. The updates maintain existing security recommendations (like preferring short-term credentials) but don't introduce new security content.
