 Description   

#1 - The AWS doc link from this page:
https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/security-aws-kms/#std-label-security-aws-kms
should be to creating symmetric CMKs, not the generic create CMKs page (as it is now). E.g., proper target is this:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kms/latest/developerguide/create-keys.html#create-symmetric-cmk
 #2 - We should be explicit in all 3 cloud provider docs that the master key must be symmetric for AWS & GCP, and must be asymmetric (public/private) for Azure:
{{https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/cluster-config/encryption/}}I suspect what happened is that when we only supported AWS we didn't specify, because the default was symmetric AES.

Hi zach.carr, this doc change is requested on behalf of kenneth.white & cynthia.braund  that stemmed originally from my customers support ticket. I am out of my domain to provide feedback so hopefully Kenn or Cynthia can help.

Hi eric.widanka, thanks for catching this. Would you mind reviewing the docs changes in this PR? I had a couple of questions. Thank you!
