AWS athena documentation change
Summary
Added clarification that Lambda environment properties only apply when using the connector with a Lambda function in your account, and updated terminology from 'Glue connections' to 'AWS Glue Data Catalog federated connection' in three bullet points.
Security assessment
The changes are documentation clarifications and terminology updates. The requirement to use AWS Secrets Manager for credentials was already present; the change only specifies this applies to 'AWS Glue Data Catalog federated connections' instead of generic 'Glue connections'. No evidence of addressing a specific security vulnerability.
