AWS waf documentation change
Summary
Updated multiple internal documentation links for Signature Version 4 API request signing to point to new IAM User Guide URLs.
Security assessment
The change updates hyperlinks from old IAM documentation paths (e.g., `reference_aws-signing.html`, `create-signed-request.html`) to new ones (e.g., `reference_sigv.html`, `reference_sigv-create-signed-request.html`). This is a routine documentation maintenance task to fix broken or outdated links. While the topic (API request signing) is security-related, the change itself does not add new security content or address a specific security issue; it only corrects references.
