AWS ivs documentation change
Summary
Updated common error documentation with improved descriptions, removed RequestExpired error, corrected error type names and HTTP status codes for UnrecognizedClientException and UnknownOperationException, and enhanced troubleshooting guidance.
Security assessment
The changes are primarily editorial improvements to error descriptions and do not indicate any specific security vulnerability being addressed. While some errors relate to authentication/authorization (like AccessDeniedException, ExpiredTokenException), the updates provide clearer guidance without introducing new security features or fixing documented vulnerabilities. The removal of RequestExpired error and reorganization of error types appear to be documentation cleanup rather than security fixes.
