AWS prescriptive-guidance documentation change

Summary

Updated internal links, simplified template references, removed markdown formatting from AWS Backup tag example, and adjusted section titles for clarity

Security assessment

Changes are primarily structural/navigational (link updates, title adjustments) and formatting cleanup (removing backticks from tags). The AWS Backup tag guidance remains functionally identical - no new security controls or vulnerability mitigations are introduced. While security considerations are mentioned in context, these changes don't address specific vulnerabilities or expand security documentation.
