vmTools: add documentation for updating Amazon Linux 2023 GUID

Amazon Linux 2023 uses GUID-based URLs that don't allow directory
listing, making updates non-trivial. Add a comment explaining how to
find the current GUID by either running an AL2023 container or checking
the docker-library/repo-info repository.

# Amazon Linux 2023 uses GUID-based URLs that don't allow directory listing.
# To update: The GUID corresponds to a specific AL2023 release version. You can find the
# current GUID by either:
# 1. Running an AL2023 container: `docker run -it amazonlinux:2023 dnf repolist -v`
# and extracting the GUID from the Repo-baseurl field
# 2. Checking https://github.com/docker-library/repo-info/blob/master/repos/amazonlinux/local/latest.md
# which tracks the repository URLs from the official Docker image
# Release notes: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/linux/al2023/release-notes/relnotes.html
