[amazon-linux] Replace Amazon Linux 2022 with Amazon Linux 2023 (#2641)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Amazon seems to have decided to not release Amazon Linux 2022 to general
availability.

https://aws.amazon.com/linux/ has the Amazon Linux 2022 -
Release Candidate section but "learn more about Amazon Linux
2022" link in that section leads to an Amazon Linux 2023 page
https://aws.amazon.com/linux/amazon-linux-2023/

Could also choose to leave Amazon Linux 2022 in the page and
duplicate Amazon Linux 2023 content, but based on the removal of
Amazon Linux 2022 from the Amaxon Linux Security Center heading at
https://alas.aws.amazon.com/alas2023.html , I think they intend to never
release Amazon Linux 2022 to general availability.
