Summary

Added documentation for IamCredentialProvider property in Bedrock Agent Core Gateway Target credential provider

Security assessment

This change adds documentation for IAM credential provider which uses IAM authentication with SigV4 signing. While this is a security feature (authentication mechanism), there's no evidence this addresses a specific security vulnerability or incident. It appears to be routine documentation of a security feature.
