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