AWS mgn documentation change
Summary
Renamed 'AWS Application Migration Service' to 'AWS Transform MGN' throughout the document
Security assessment
Changes are purely branding/naming updates without technical content modifications. Security-related sections (like communication encryption) maintain identical technical descriptions with only service name changed. No vulnerabilities or security improvements were addressed.
