-----
Update documentation for architectures to discourage the use of the shorthand notation in core22 snaps.
This is because the shorthand notation for core22 snaps is not supported by Launchpad. Removing support in snapcraft would be disruptive so instead we can discourage its usage by removing it from the documentation.
The documentation on snapcraft.io/docs has already been updated.
