AWS ses documentation change

File: ses/latest/dg/sesv2_example_sesv2_GetEmailIdentity_section.md

Summary

Updated documentation for GetEmailIdentity action with example code and link to Email Attachments Scenario. Added Python wrapper class implementation with error handling.

Security assessment

This change adds example code and documentation for the GetEmailIdentity API operation. It includes proper error handling for NotFoundException, but this is standard API documentation without any indication of addressing a security vulnerability or weakness. The change appears to be routine documentation improvement for API usage examples.
