AWS greengrass: Update AWS account signup guidance in Greengrass v2 getting started
Summary
Replaces the single AWS account creation link with a description of two signup options: advanced signup for full control/regulated workloads (HIPAA, FedRAMP) and a streamlined signup using an existing login with preconfigured defaults in select Regions.
Security assessment
Identical onboarding wording change to the v1 guide; it merely points users to account signup documentation and references compliance programs as a selection criterion. No security feature, control, or vulnerability is described.
