AWS opensearch-service: Update AWS account sign-up guidance in setup page
Summary
Replaces the single 'Getting started with an AWS account' link with a description of two sign-up paths: advanced sign-up for full control/regulated workloads (HIPAA, FedRAMP) and standard sign-up with preconfigured defaults.
Security assessment
The change only rewrites account-creation onboarding text and links. HIPAA/FedRAMP are mentioned as compliance context for choosing a sign-up path, not as a security control or vulnerability fix, so no security documentation or issue is addressed.
Evidence
+To get started with AWS, you need an AWS account. There are two ways to sign up for AWS. If you want complete control over account configuration and where your content is stored, or if you have regulated workloads such as HIPAA or FedRAMP, use [Sign up for AWS (advanced)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/accounts/latest/reference/getting-started.html). If you are a new user and want to use a login you already own to sign in to AWS and create an AWS environment with preconfigured defaults in select [AWS Regions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/accounts/latest/reference/project-regions.html), use [Sign up for AWS](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/accounts/latest/reference/sign-in-new.html).
