AWS mediaconnect documentation change
Summary
Updated service description, replaced workflow diagram, added router-based video routing, AWS CDI, NDI support, and protocol normalization capabilities.
Security assessment
Changes are feature enhancements (router inputs/outputs, AWS CDI, NDI support) with no security-specific content. Removed security reference in entitlement description doesn't alter security posture.
