AWS eks documentation change

Summary

Added Amazon Route 53 to the list of AWS services that support AWS PrivateLink and removed the note stating Route 53 doesn't support PrivateLink, enabling DNS management from private EKS clusters.

Security assessment

This change documents that Route 53 now supports AWS PrivateLink, which is a security feature that allows private network access to AWS services without traversing the public internet. While this adds security documentation, there's no evidence of a specific security issue being fixed - it appears to be a feature update enabling better security architecture for private clusters.
