AWS neptune documentation change
Summary
Added a new section 'IAM authentication' explaining how to use IAM authentication with Gremlin console for Neptune DB clusters.
Security assessment
The change adds documentation about IAM authentication, which is a security feature for controlling access to Neptune DB clusters. It explains the need for Signature Version 4 signing when IAM authentication is enabled. This is an enhancement to security documentation, not a response to a specific security issue.
