Summary

Updated IAM ARN examples by replacing 'arn:aws:' prefixes with '<shared id="region.arn"/>' in command examples, policy references, and role mappings

Security assessment

Documentation-only change for consistent placeholder usage in IAM references. No security vulnerabilities addressed or security features documented. Routine example formatting improvement.
