fix: invalid config for vsphere

[NguyenHoangSon96]

Closes 26912

• My steps to fix:

1. Check out the source telegraf to my local.
2. Run go run ./cmd/telegraf config > etc/telegraf.conf command to generate etc/telegraf.conf file.
3. Tweak the src/writeData/utils/updateTelegrafPlugins.mjs so it will get contents from my local influxdata/telegra/etc/telegraf.conf instead of the remote repository /influxdata/telegraf.
4. Run telegraf-plugins:update command to generate new contents for md and conf files.
5. Create this PR.

This is just a very primitive implementation of the updateTelegrafPlugins.mjs to make the script work

• Some thoughts:

1. I don't know how these things should work exactly; this is just my assumption. If my fixes are not correct, then I will just manually remove the - at the beginning of the .conf file.
2. If this is correct, then we should update the src/writeData/utils/README.md guidance and the src/writeData/utils/updateTelegrafPlugins.mjs script file to get contents from etc/telegraf.conf in the local repository, not the remote.

• Before the fix, there is a - at the beginning of the file.

• After I modify src/writeData/utils/updateTelegrafPlugins.mjs and run the command telegraf-plugins:update, the - at the beginning of the file disappears.

• I edited the updateTelegrafPlugins.mjs a little bit so it only modifies the ".conf" and ".md" of the vsphere file.
• But I don't know, should we need to generate contents for the rest of the plugins ".conf" and ".md" files? Looks like they are all out of sync compared to "influxdata/telegraf/${version}/etc/telegraf.conf". Maybe we should do it in another PR 🤷

I would regenerate all of them. You can do that in a separate pr if you like.

I will approve this pr since it is only touching statically served files and I assume it imported them as they are in the telegraf repo.

LGTM -- statically served files; i skimmed them and the changes look ok; but i did not diff them with the source files in the telegraf repo. @NguyenHoangSon96 -- to confirm the import script is working, you could diff the conf and md file with the source ones in telegraf's repo.
