### Describe the bug

Various `amplify-cli` packages have a dependency on AWS SDK v2. This is end-of-life and will be unsupported on September 8th 2025.

https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/developer/announcing-end-of-support-for-aws-sdk-for-javascript-v2/

The packages are:
```
packages/amplify-appsync-simulator/package.json: "aws-sdk": "^2.1464.0",
packages/amplify-category-auth/package.json: "aws-sdk": "^2.1464.0",
packages/amplify-category-function/package.json: "aws-sdk": "^2.1464.0",

```

### Expected behavior

The packages should be updated to use packages from AWS SDK v3, i.e. packages like `@aws-sdk/client-*`

### Reproduction steps

1. Checkout code
2. Search for aws-sdk in package.json files

Research direction

Start by auditing the AWS SDK dependencies in the listed package.json files, then trace each package's existing aws-sdk usage before mapping it to the appropriate AWS SDK v3 package. Verify that all listed packages no longer depend on aws-sdk v2 and run the repository's relevant CLI, simulator, and integration tests to confirm existing behavior.
