AWS batch documentation change

Service: batch · 2026-05-31 · Documentation low

File: batch/latest/userguide/get-set-up-for-aws-batch.md

Summary

Added 'Sign up for AWS account' section, replaced 'Create IAM account' references with account signup, and added IAM roles documentation.

Security assessment

Restructured setup steps without changing security substance. Focuses on initial account setup rather than IAM specifics, but doesn't remove existing security guidance.
