AWS neptune documentation change

Service: neptune · 2026-04-10 · Documentation low

File: neptune/latest/userguide/access-graph-opencypher-explain-example-3.md

Summary

Added comprehensive code examples for invoking explain queries using AWS CLI, SDK, awscurl, and curl, similar to the previous example file.

Security assessment

This change adds detailed implementation examples for another Neptune explain query but doesn't address security vulnerabilities or add security documentation. The examples follow the same pattern as the previous file without security-specific content.
