Shared access keys can read/list/delete all virtual clusters on the host, increasing attack surface if exposed. Removes "Recommended" label since dedicated keys with granular scope are safer for most deployments. Host cluster access grants broad permissions to platform resources and all virtual clusters. Adds warning so administrators understand that only privileged users should have direct host cluster access. Unprivileged users should connect to virtual clusters directly.
