AWS inspector: Remove machine image scanning from Inspector activation docs
Summary
Deleted the 'Machine image scanning' section (including the note about reviewing scan configuration) and removed `MACHINE_IMAGE` from the list of valid `resourceTypes` values for the Enable API operation, leaving only EC2, ECR, LAMBDA, and LAMBDA_CODE.
Security assessment
The change only removes documentation for a scan type (machine image/AMI scanning) and its API enum value; it documents no vulnerability, credential, encryption, or authorization behavior, so it is a product/feature documentation change with no direct security implication.
Evidence
Run the [Enable](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/inspector/v2/APIReference/API_Enable.html) API operation. In the request, provide the account IDs you are activating scans for, and idempotency token, and one or more of `EC2`, `ECR`, `LAMBDA`, or `LAMBDA_CODE` for `resourceTypes` to activate scans of that type.
