File: cli/latest/reference/backup/describe-global-settings.md

Summary

Updated command description and output documentation to include new cross-account management options: cross-account backup, multi-party approval, and delegated administrator features

Security assessment

This change adds documentation for new security and governance features (cross-account backup, multi-party approval, delegated administrator) but does not indicate it's addressing a specific security vulnerability. The changes enhance documentation of security controls but are not reactive to a security incident.
