[vmware-photon] Update EOL dates for 3.0 and 4.0

[YustasSwamp]

These are actual Photon OS 3.0/4.0 EOL dates aligned with vSphere 7.x/8.x general support timelines.

can you please provide the source for the new dates?

I found https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article/301489/faq-end-of-support-for-photon-os-on-vcen.html which is for vCenter

Given that this is PR is filed and approved by Broadcom folks, I wouldn't mind merging (with a ref back to this PR as an edit), but I'd still prefer an upstream link if possible. So far the best we have is the 5.0 announcement, which is what the existing docs point to and use as EOL.

Your customers will much prefer a trustworthy update on the Photon Wiki/Blog/Site as well.

@captn3m0 @hebbet Thanks for the review.

Photon OS support timelines are aligned with VCF appliances (vSphere in the past).
Photon OS 3.0 for vSphere 7.x, 4.0 for vSphere 8.x, and 5.0 for VCF 9.x.

Updated dates are mentioned here:
https://www.northdoor.co.uk/insight/blog/vmware-vsphere-end-of-support-guide/
https://endoflife.date/vcenter

We've just recently EOL'ed Photon OS 3.0 and extended 4.0 support till 2027-10-11.
Our customers as well as internal consumers primarily use endoflife.date. That's why we decided to update you in first place.

Photon Wiki/Blog will be also updated/released.

The northdoor site is also third-party and doesn't mention Photon either.

I'll update the text tomorrow to link to this PR and merge. Do let us know once the official docs are updated.
