bpf/docs: Update README for most recent vmtest.sh 



Since commit 40b09653 ("selftests/bpf: Adjust vmtest.sh to use local
kernel configuration") the vmtest.sh script no longer downloads a kernel
configuration but uses the local, in-repository one.
This change updates the README, which still mentions the old behavior.

The script tries to ensure that the tests are run with the same environment as they

would be run post-submit in the CI used by the Maintainers.



This script downloads a suitable Kconfig and VM userspace image from the system used by

bpf selftests, runs them (by default ``tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_progs``) and
