AWS snowball documentation change
Summary
Updated URLs for Signature Version 4 signing documentation to point to new reference pages in the IAM User Guide.
Security assessment
The changes are purely documentation maintenance - updating broken or outdated links to Signature Version 4 signing documentation. While Signature Version 4 is a security protocol for authenticating AWS API requests, these changes don't address any specific security vulnerability or weakness, nor do they add new security documentation. They simply fix URL references.
