AWS codeguru documentation change

Summary

Removed Step 1 (AWS account sign-up instructions) from setup documentation

Security assessment

This change deletes generic AWS account creation instructions including root user security recommendations. While security best practices were mentioned, their removal doesn't indicate a security fix - it simply streamlines documentation by assuming account creation is prerequisite knowledge.

-## Step 1: Sign up for AWS
-
-When you sign up for Amazon Web Services (AWS), your AWS account is automatically signed up for all services in AWS, including CodeGuru Profiler. You're charged only for the services that you use.
-
-If you have an AWS account already, move on to the next task. If you don't have an AWS account, use the following procedure to create one.
-
-###### To create an AWS account
-
-  1. Open [https://portal.aws.amazon.com/billing/signup](https://portal.aws.amazon.com/billing/signup).
-
-  2. Follow the online instructions.
-
-Part of the sign-up procedure involves receiving a phone call or text message and entering a verification code on the phone keypad.
-
-When you sign up for an AWS account, an _AWS account root user_ is created. The root user has access to all AWS services and resources in the account. As a security best practice, assign administrative access to a user, and use only the root user to perform [tasks that require root user access](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_root-user.html#root-user-tasks).
