Summary

Documents how to use EKS Pod Identity credentials with the S3 snapshot repository, as a companion to elastic/elasticsearch#151614. Adds an "Using EKS Pod Identity for authentication" subsection alongside the existing IRSA instructions: symlink the injected token into ${ES_PATH_CONF}/repository-s3/eks-pod-identity-token and repoint AWS_CONTAINER_AUTHORIZATION_TOKEN_FILE (or the aws.containerAuthorizationTokenFile system property) at the symlink so the S3 repository can read it.

Validated locally with Vale (Elastic style v1.6.0): 0 errors, no findings on the added lines.
