Isai 534d302758 [Rule Tunings] AWS CloudWatch Deletion Rules (#5316) ...

Noticed some false positives in alert telemetry leading to high alert volume. For all 3 rules I've added `source.ip:*` and excluded `user_agent.original: AWS Internal` to reduce noise from internal AWS services and backend API calls made on a user's behalf. These rules will instead stay focused on direct SDK/CLI triggered API calls.

- reduced execution window
- updated description, false positive and investigation guide sections
- added highlighted fields
- udpated tags and MITRE mapping
