Add VM Guides

[ryanrhughes]

What correction or addition do we need?

We have a lot of people who get stuck in the same places when attempting to use Omarchy in a VM to trial it.

It'd be nice to have clear, easy to follow guides with proper screenshots for each platform.

Some of these have also deviated from our prescribed install of Limine at this point and need to be brought back in line with the main line spec.

Instead of guides full of manual steps, leverage the automation capabilities of the VM solutions and focus on installation scripts instead, like I did for Hyper-V in #1580.

Very cool @axelfontaine. Where possible; I agree. If we can just automate some of these, that's even better.

@ryanrhughes Apart from the listed VM references, could you also add QEMU + manual installation from Arch to the list? The issue occurs even when using Limine as the bootloader.
