(short issue description) aws configure migrate-to-v2 #10509

Description

@Jai-76

Describe the issue

AWS CLI v1 is entering maintenance mode on July 15, 2026, and users are being directed to migrate to AWS CLI v2. However, there's no built-in tooling to help users understand what in their current setup needs attention before migrating (e.g., deprecated commands they use, custom config file quirks, or shell scripts calling v1-only flags). Users are left to manually cross-reference the migration guide against their own usage.

Additional Information/Context

A new subcommand, that:

Scans the user's shell history / a provided script for aws invocations
Flags any commands, subcommands, or flags that behave differently or are removed in v2
Checks the local ~/.aws/config and ~/.aws/credentials files for any v1-specific syntax
Outputs a checklist/report summarizing what needs to change before switching

CLI version used

aws --version

Environment details (OS name and version, etc.)
