Description of changes:
This PR updates the DynamoDB external table connection documentation by replacing outdated AppSync console instructions with direct DynamoDB table creation steps.
Why: The instructions for "Step 1 - Set up your Amazon DynamoDB table" reference a feature that doesn't exist anymore. Specifically, the "Use existing type" option in the AppSync console is no longer available, making the current documentation incorrect and unusable.
