Make example AWS UUIDS follow a specific pattern

SUMMARY
Various AWS IAM resources have UUID which follow a specific pattern.  Similarly AWS accounts are all 12 digit numbers (text aliases in a couple of cases).  To minimize the risk of accidental data leaks use a consistent Account ID in examples (123456789012), and a specific format for the UUIDS: (AKIA|AGPA|AIDA|AROA|AIPA|ANPA|ANVA|ASIA)12345EXAMPLE54321
While this does nothing about historic data, having consistency makes it easier to prevent future leaks.
Note: We should follow this up with an update to the developer docs, however I'd like to get this in prior to 5.0.0

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
While the 'secret' nature of these UUIDs is debatable (they're closer to user names than passwords), deliberately mangling them makes it easier for InfoSec teams to spot when their secret counterparts may have been leaked in combination with a real 'public' part.
