AWS inspector documentation change

Summary

Added GCP support to Amazon Inspector SBOM Generator metadata fields including project_id, numeric_project_id, and instance_name; updated Azure tenant_id description

Security assessment

The changes document new GCP-specific metadata fields for software bill of materials (SBOM) generation, which is a security feature. While this enhances security visibility for GCP environments, there's no evidence of a specific vulnerability being addressed. The updates expand documentation for an existing security feature.
