Hugo P.Brito 19c5b5a8ff docs(sdk): document remaining AWS checks gated by --scan-unused-services
- Add missing checks under ACM, Athena, EC2 and VPC sections
- Add Bedrock, KMS and RDS sections covering checks gated by the flag
- Correct EC2 security group count from 15 to 20
- Fix "encyption" typo in the EC2 EBS paragraph

Certificates stored in ACM without active usage in AWS resources are excluded. By default, Prowler only scans actively used certificates. Unused certificates will not be checked if they are expired, if their expiring date is near or if they are good.

If Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) default encyption is not enabled, sensitive data at rest will remain unprotected in EC2. However, Prowler will only generate a finding if EBS volumes exist where default encryption could be enforced.
