AWS athena documentation change
Summary
Added clarification that Lambda environment properties only apply when using connector with Lambda function in your account. Updated terminology from 'Glue connections' to 'AWS Glue Data Catalog federated connection' in three bullet points about Secrets Manager requirement, multiplexing handler support, and ConnectionSchemaVersion support.
Security assessment
The changes are documentation clarifications and terminology updates. The requirement to use AWS Secrets Manager for credentials was already present in the original documentation - this change only clarifies it applies specifically to federated connections. No evidence of addressing a specific security vulnerability or incident.
