Instead of trying to update the version of asdf being used, just point
users to the guide on their website.

Ideally we'd do this for Elixir and Erlang as well, but new versions of
those packages may sometimes have compatibility issues with Akkoma. For
now, update those to the latest OTP and Elixir versions known to be
comaptible with Akkoma.

We already document the supported/tested versions in each install guide, included via docs/docs/installation/generic_dependencies.include though it too is a bit outdated (Elixir 1.17 is well tested by now)
It may be slightly less convenient to tell readers to go back up and check what the latest tested version is, but imho better than wrongly specifying an outdated, possibly no longer supported version

It would be more convenient if there was a more automated way to specify the latest minor version of the supported Elixir/Erlang to download. Honestly not really even sure how we should tell users to find those without it being too daunting.
