AWS sms-voice documentation change
Summary
Added documentation for RCS messaging and Notify (managed OTP and verification messaging) features to AWS End User Messaging SMS service description.
Security assessment
The change adds documentation about new features including RCS with verified brand identity and Notify for OTP/verification messages. While OTP/authentication messages are security-related use cases, this is feature documentation rather than addressing a specific security vulnerability. The Notify feature specifically mentions 'templated OTP and verification messages' which are security-related functionalities.
