Summary

Added markdown link and documentation for KmsKeyIdentifier property for encryption

Security assessment

This change adds documentation for the KmsKeyIdentifier property which allows specifying a KMS key for encrypting Neptune Graph data. This is a security feature (encryption at rest) but there's no evidence it addresses a specific security issue. The change enhances security documentation by detailing encryption options.
