docs(va): two-parameter report shot with a date literal

Replaces the three-parameter screenshot with a two-parameter one - a value
list and a date - and adds a zoomed crop of the DC header and FILTER line.

The date parameter arrives as a display date and is rendered as a SAS date
literal ('12FEB1960'd), the same as a date filter built inside Data
Controller. That is worth showing because VA's own prompt containers in the
report header show only the parameter label: the FILTER line is where the
selected values are legible.
