doc: update AWS guide to remove insmod rte_kni.ko step
rte_kni.ko was removed in F-Stack dev (commit b6692e6, Nov 2025). KNI now uses virtio_user + vhost-net. Add a note explaining that veth0 is created automatically by F-Stack on startup, and clarify the comment above the kni interface configuration step. Fixes: #755 See also: #893
