Describe the bug

When pushing amplify we get warning that our scheme is using IAM, but this is the method which is documented at amplify website.

⚠️ WARNING: Schema is using an @auth directive with deprecated provider 'iam'. Replace 'iam' provider with 'identityPool' provider.

You need to update documentation and enum AuthProvider at e.g. https://docs.amplify.aws/gen1/javascript/build-a-backend/graphqlapi/customize-authorization-rules/#how-it-works

Expected behavior

Documentation should not use deprecated auth methods

Reproduction steps

Make a scheme like the documentation suggest and push
