Default IntelliJ Markdown auto-formatting is, subjectively, counter-productive and, objectively, unnecessarily verbose.

Fortunately, there's a way to disable some unhelpful IntelliJ edits: https://blog.jetbrains.com/webstorm/2023/01/webstorm-2023-1-eap-1/#new_smart_keys_settings_page_for_markdown (i.e., disable "Reformat table")

Overall I think it is a great idea. I want to make sure that if we are adding to this document that it is visible enough for people to find, and that there isn't a better place for an FAQ (like an amazon owned webpage) but personally I think keeping it close to the code is the best

This is a great idea. Can we add this FAQ as a link to the README for increased visibility?

SGTM. Will follow-up w/ a separate PR soas not to unnecessarily delay merging this incremental value.

[Brendan] I want to make sure ... that there isn't a better place for an FAQ (like an amazon owned webpage)

This FAQ, and any future documentation, is not required to be an either/or. We can, and as reasonable, should do both. However, there are much higher hurdles to author, publish, and edit (when necessary) public AWS docs. Furthermore, external contributors such as KCL Cx cannot contribute to AWS documentation.

This PR biases us towards action, helps set a precedent, and (hopefully) will snowball into more extensive results.
