Summary

Updated documentation about catalog federation and data integration methods, including Iceberg REST catalog federation and S3 Table bucket integration

Security assessment

Added emphasis on 'securely access remote Iceberg tables' and reorganized content about access permissions. While this highlights security capabilities of Lake Formation, there is no evidence of addressing a specific security vulnerability.
