- Remove images azure-docker, azure-machine-learning, and hyperv. - Closes #1141 - Revises from Hyper-V Gen 2 to Gen 1, with relative changes to settings. - Replaces figure 3 because Gen 1 settings are different from Gen 2 - Revises image type to remove previous default `hyperv.vhdx`, a Gen 2 image -- no longer supported. - Respond to reviewer feedback; fix typos.
