AWS drs documentation change
Summary
Fixed typos and grammar, removed a note about Windows servers (irrelevant to Linux guide), and added clarification about providing session token when using temporary credentials during agent installation.
Security assessment
The change adds documentation about using temporary credentials (including session tokens) which is a security best practice for credential management. However, there is no evidence of a specific security vulnerability being addressed; it's a documentation improvement for an existing security feature.
