website: Fix confusing example for local-exec provisioner
The local-exec provisioner documentation includes an example which refers to an attribute of the current resource using its full traversal path, rather than using "self" as we typically expect. Due to some coincidences in how Terraform builds the dependency graph, referring to the resource in this way happens to work when the resource has only a single instance (the graph builder just skips that self-referential dependency edge), but it fails if the user later tries to add "count" or "for_each" to the resource, because at that point all of the instances become dependent on one another, which creates a dependency cycle. Using "self" to access the current instance attributes is the usual approach, so I've updated the documentation to show that.
