File: autoscaling/ec2/userguide/add-tags.md

Summary

Updated terminology from 'Auto Scaling group' to 'Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group' throughout the document for branding consistency. No functional changes to tagging behavior.

Security assessment

Changes are purely terminological updates without altering security implications. No evidence of vulnerability fixes, security incidents, or new security features. Tag propagation behavior remains unchanged.
