Subject: [PATCH] Update meshtastic-flasher.mdx

Updated to reflect the information inside https://github.com/meshtastic/Meshtastic-gui-installer which states that the single install executables were deprecated in March 2022. This page was previously linking to versions of the Flasher from March 2022 (approx 84 commits behind).
