AWS cli documentation change

Summary

Added KEYPAIR authentication type to AuthenticationType enum and added OAuthClientCredentials structure documentation for OAuth 2.0 client credentials authentication

Security assessment

This change adds documentation for new authentication methods (KEYPAIR and OAuth 2.0 client credentials) which are security features. The addition of KEYPAIR to the AuthenticationType enum and the detailed OAuthClientCredentials structure with ClientId, ClientSecret, and Username fields indicates enhanced authentication capabilities, but there's no evidence this addresses a specific security vulnerability or incident.
