AWS verifiedpermissions documentation change
Summary
Updated deletion behavior documentation to include both soft and hard delete options for policy store aliases
Security assessment
The change documents feature enhancements (hard delete option) but doesn't indicate any security vulnerability being addressed. Hard delete provides operational flexibility but isn't tied to a specific security fix.

The policy store alias name is reserved for a period of 24 hours. If you attempt to create a policy store alias with the same name during this period, the request will be rejected. During this period, `GetPolicyStoreAlias` returns the policy store alias with the `PendingDeletion` state. You can also hard delete a policy store alias by specifying `HardDelete` as the `deletionMode`. A hard-deleted policy store alias is immediately deleted and the policy store alias name becomes available for reuse immediately.
