CMG guidance names the Windows Server 2022 offer replacing legacy .NET 6 images

The two Configuration Manager updates document the same Cloud Management Gateway virtual machine scale set image change. The guidance now says CMG deployments transition from legacy Windows Server 2022 Azure Marketplace images using the `windowsserver` offer and end-of-life .NET 6 to the `windowsserver2022` offer without those deprecated packages. This is documentation and terminology clarification, not evidence of a new Intune capability or availability announcement.

  The Configuration Manager article now explicitly describes the CMG virtual machine scale set transition to the `windowsserver2022` Windows Server 2022 image offer, replacing legacy `windowsserver` images that include end-of-life .NET 6. Related hotfix notes also standardize the terminology from “VMSS” to “virtual machine scale set.”
