Documentation Update

Fixes issue # 3279

Changes proposed in this pull request:
This PR improves the documentation for Using a Snapshot to Restore a Virtual Machine by adding a warning related to the Custom preview/restore workflow.

Added a [WARNING] block under the Custom preview step
Clarifies behavior when selecting only a subset of disks during snapshot restore

Problem Addressed
The current documentation does not clearly explain what happens to disks that are not selected when performing a custom snapshot restore.
In practice:

Only the selected disks are included in the final VM state after Commit
Unselected disks may be removed from the VM configuration

This can lead to unexpected disk detachment and potential data loss.
