Also replace the obsolete 'guix system vm-image' command mention by the 'guix
system image'.

instruction.
<guix system vm-image>: Replace by 'guix system image'.
This allows computing a manifest for a specific system. Previously this was
possible, but only through changing %current-system, which caused the
derivation to be computed using that system as well (so computing a derivation
for aarch64-linux on x86_64-linux would require running aarch64-linux code).
This new argument adds the possibility of computing derivations for non-native
systems, without having to run non-native code.
I'm looking at this as it will enable the Guix Data Service to compute channel
instance derivations without relying on QEMU emulation for non-native
systems (it should be faster as well).
