File: res/archive/release-minus-3/ug/acm-certificate.md

Summary

Updated terminology from 'AWS GovCloud (US-West)' to 'GovCloud Region' and 'GovCloud region' for consistency and clarity.

Security assessment

This change standardizes references to GovCloud regions. It does not address any security issue or add security documentation; it is purely a terminology update for broader region support.
