AWS athena documentation change
Summary
Added clarification that Lambda environment properties apply only 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 about credential storage, multiplexing handler support, and ConnectionSchemaVersion support.
Security assessment
The changes are documentation clarifications and terminology updates. The mention of AWS Secrets Manager for credential storage is a pre-existing security best practice, but the change only clarifies the scope (federated connections) rather than introducing new security guidance or addressing a specific vulnerability.
