AWS API Changes

2022/12/09 - AWS Elemental MediaLive - 3 updated api methods

Changes Link devices now support buffer size (latency) configuration. A higher latency value means a longer delay in transmitting from the device to MediaLive, but improved resiliency. A lower latency value means a shorter delay, but less resiliency.
