Nic Cope 8dfa231a1d Add documentation for MRDs, MRAPs, and safe-start
Large Crossplane providers install hundreds of CRDs consuming significant API
server resources, even when users only need a few resource types. The new
alpha ManagedResourceDefinition (MRD) and ManagedResourceActivationPolicy
(MRAP) features in Crossplane v2.0+ solve this by enabling selective
activation of provider resources, but lack user-facing documentation.

This change adds complete documentation covering both concepts and practical
implementation. The MRD concepts page explains the CRD scaling problem and
selective activation approach. The MRAP concepts page details pattern-based
activation strategies and multiple policy coordination. Two how-to guides
provide end-to-end workflows: one for users wanting to reduce CRD overhead
through selective activation, and another for provider developers implementing
safe-start capability. The user guide was tested with simulated MRDs to verify
the activation workflow and troubleshooting steps.
