AWS grafana documentation change
Summary
Added markdown link and important note about removal of SigV4 authentication support in Core Prometheus plugin in version 12, with automatic migration to Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus plugin.
Security assessment
Note discusses authentication removal, which has security implications, but no concrete evidence of a security vulnerability being addressed; it's a deprecation and migration update.
