AWS AmazonRDS documentation change
Summary
Renamed 'Spatial Patch Bundle' to 'Supplemental Patch Bundle' and updated definition to include additional database patches for Oracle Spatial, Data Pump, and GoldenGate. Removed outdated timing and upgrade notes.
Security assessment
Terminology update clarifies patch bundle scope but contains no security vulnerability references or security feature additions. Minor documentation refinement without security implications.
