AWS bedrock-agentcore documentation change

Summary

Added new 'AgentCore Policy Service Quotas' section with resource limits and throttling limits for Policy APIs

Security assessment

This adds documentation about service quotas and rate limits for policy-related APIs. While rate limiting can help prevent abuse, this appears to be routine documentation of service limits rather than addressing a specific security vulnerability. The change documents security-relevant throttling limits but doesn't indicate a security issue was fixed.
