AWS neptune documentation change
Summary
Added a new section 'IAM authentication' explaining how to use IAM authentication with Go client for Neptune DB clusters.
Security assessment
The change adds documentation about IAM authentication for Go clients, which is a security feature for access control. It explains the use of Signature Version 4 signing. This is an enhancement to security documentation, not a response to a specific security incident.
