What does this PR do? What is the motivation?

Fixes DOCS-14545

Documents Agent installation on Amazon EC2 directly through the AWS integration (preview). This PR includes:

  • A new setup guide at hugo/content/en/integrations/guide/aws-agent-installation.md: what the feature does, prerequisites, the required AWS permissions and why each is needed, the installation entry points, verification, and troubleshooting. Gated with private: true until the v1 rollout.
  • A new technical reference at hugo/content/en/integrations/guide/aws-agent-installation-technical-reference.md: the AWS resources Datadog creates, the installation mechanism, the security and auditing model, and the Agent lifecycle and reconciliation behavior. Aimed at platform, cloud, and security teams reviewing what runs in their AWS account. Also gated with private: true.
  • A reusable aws-agent-installation shortcode summarizing the permissions Agent installation requires, so the same content can be reused on the main AWS integration page.
  • A "How it works" flow diagram illustrating the install flow and the trust boundary (actions run in the customer's own AWS account).

This replaces #37537, which targeted the pre-reorg file locations. The content is identical; only the paths changed.

Merge instructions

Merge readiness:

  • Ready for merge

Additional notes

Do not publish before the v1 rollout. Both new pages are gated with private: true and must be un-gated together, since they cross-link.
