AWS AmazonRDS documentation change

File: AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide/babelfish-create.md

Summary

Removed step about filtering for Babelfish-supported versions and renumbered subsequent steps in the Babelfish creation workflow

Security assessment

This change is purely procedural and organizational - it removes a filtering step and renumbers the remaining steps in the Babelfish database creation process. There is no evidence of addressing security vulnerabilities, patching issues, or adding security features. The change maintains existing security-related steps (like master password, encryption, deletion protection) but doesn't modify their content or add new security documentation.
