Rowan Smith 0a815029e9 chore: fix incorrect ordering of OS options in docs (#19384)
On https://coder.com/docs/install/uninstall at present we order the top
OS listing as "Linux | macOS | Windows", while in the `Coder settings,
cache, and the optional built-in PostgreSQL database` paragraph towards
the bottom of the page we change to using "macOS | Linux | Windows" for
some reason. This PR moves Linux to be listed first instead of macOS in
the bottom paragraph to match the ordering of the top section.
