AWS connect documentation change

File: connect/latest/adminguide/how-to-create-campaigns.md

Summary

Updated all references from 'Amazon Connect' to 'Connect Customer' and expanded time zone detection configuration options

Security assessment

The changes are purely branding updates (renaming 'Amazon Connect' to 'Connect Customer') and functional enhancements to time zone detection logic. There is no evidence of security vulnerability fixes, security incident references, or new security controls. The added time zone configuration options improve operational functionality but don't introduce security features or address security weaknesses.
