[Website]: Add missing prerequisites to AWS Billing integration docs

[insukcho]

Page: https://www.elastic.co/docs/reference/integrations/aws/billing

The What do I need to use this integration? section is missing two prerequisites that are easy to overlook:

• AWS billing metrics are stored in the US East (N. Virginia) (us-east-1) region only. The integration's region must include us-east-1 to collect data.
• Billing alerts must be enabled in AWS. See [Enabling billing alerts]((docs.aws.amazon.com/redacted) in the AWS CloudWatch documentation.

Definition of done: Both prerequisites are added to the "What do I need to use this integration?" section of the AWS Billing integration page.

What happened?

This integration needs two more very important requirement to collect data that any user can easily miss:

• As the metrics are stored in the US East (N. Virginia) region only, the integration's region should include us-east-1 region
• To collect the billing metrics, the user should enable the billing alerts by following this AWS reference: (docs.aws.amazon.com/redacted)

Add these two bullet points into the section https://www.elastic.co/docs/reference/integrations/aws/billing#what-do-i-need-to-use-this-integration.

Thanks!

Type: documentation

Section check:

• ✅ What's missing/unclear: both missing prerequisites described with specific section URL
• ❌ Definition of done: not explicitly stated (added in rewrite)

Ambiguity / scope notes:

• Title grammar: "requirement" should be "requirements"; title lacked the integration name
• Empty bullet point between the two requirements was a formatting artifact

Cross-references:

• https://www.elastic.co/docs/reference/integrations/aws/billing — valid
• (docs.aws.amazon.com/redacted) — valid

Next step: Rewritten above
