FYI for docs changes, there's not quite the same long proposal->approval->PR->review process that there is for main repo feature additions.
For small docs changes you can just go ahead and make a PR.
For medium changes like this, if no one explicitly gives you the go-ahead in this thread, try discussing in the https://chat.godotengine.org/channel/documentation (or in this case https://chat.godotengine.org/channel/dotnet) channels of the contributors chat. And if you don't mind potentially wasting work, you could just make the PR and let discussion happen in the PR review.
In this specific case, I don't think we want to be adding a long section to this page about using external profiling tools. Adding another external program to the short note seems fine, but if you have a longer section to write it should probably be somewhere in the C# section, but I don't know where.

Issue description: I used this Reddit comment (link) to setup Visual Studio Community as a C# profiler to get Memory Snapshots to find a memory leak and it worked like a charm! Even though the setup is not automatic, it took <5 min. I think it should be also suggested as a free alternative to Jetbrains Rider / DotTrace in the Profiler documentation.
Currently, what's in the documentation is this:
As the setup requires some manual steps, I volunteer to write a section based on the Reddit comment guiding the user to setup it.
