[Docs]: AWS EKS Access Entries setting bootstrap_cluster_creator_admin_permissions is not set to true by default

Description

The documentation suggests that the AWS EKS Access Entries setting bootstrap_cluster_creator_admin_permissions is set to true by default, matching what happens in the AWS console.

This isn't the case. As a result if this setting is missed new AWS EKS clusters are not configured to allow admin access for the Principal that creates the cluster.

The docs also don't mention the clash that happens subsequently with this setting but this has already been raised separately - ignore_changes is required basically.

I noticed this issue as well. It caused me to take down an entire cluster and re-create it.
