chore: discourage AdministratorAccess policy (aws#12196)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Even though we can't actually suggest any particular policy to use
other than `AdministratorAccess`, we've been requested to make it
very clear that developers shouldn't be using `AdministratorAccess`
without thinking (after an engagement in which an organization's
CCoE was displeased with individual developer teams copy/pasting
example bootstrapping commands from our developer guides).

Add a note to tell developers to check with their organization's CCoE
before using `AdministratorAccess`.
