Update "Add a disk to a Linux VM" with correct billing impact
Update the text about TRIM/UNMAP to correctly describe which disks can achieve cost benefits. The original text described the situation before managed disks were introduced and had not been updated to reflect today's typical usage.

Some Linux kernels support TRIM/UNMAP operations to discard unused blocks on the disk. This feature is primarily useful to inform Azure that deleted pages are no longer valid and can be discarded. This feature can save money on disks that are billed based on the amount of consumed storage, such as unmanaged standard disks and disk snapshots.
