docs: Update cloud-init tutorial for 24.04.1 (#500)

With that release comes changes to the distro launcher making it no
longer necessary for users to run cloud-init commands. The distro
launcher does it, so the tutorial can be made shorter and more direct.

Also there was a caveat about `wsl --install` that's no longer
applicable, as that installation command also goes through the launcher,
both workflows are now consistent.

-In PowerShell again run:

-Terminate the running instance:
-
-```{code-block} text

-This should output a message confirming that the instance has stopped:

+When the setup is complete, the WSL instance's shell will be logged in as the user `jdoe`.

-As a side note, users installing the distro with the `wsl --install` online command must take a few steps to ensure cloud-init has time to do its job. First, make sure to install with the `--no-launch` flag, then use the distro launcher to install without creating a user (if you expect cloud-init to do it for you as described in this tutorial) and finally watch cloud-init do its job. The commands are outlined below:
-
-```text
-> wsl --install --no-launch -d Ubuntu-24.04
-> ubuntu2404.exe install --root
-> ubuntu2404.exe run cloud-init status --wait

 We hope you enjoy using Ubuntu inside WSL!
