Replace the standalone conceptual sections and compatibility lists with a three-sentence intro in manage-panels.md and a short inline note on Unlink from library. Remove the compatibility section from visualize-library.md entirely. Drop the verbose intro sentence from visualize.md while keeping the Visualize Library column in the table.

Add a two-sentence explanation of panel states to create-dashboard.md at the point where users choose between adding library panels and new visualizations. Add a one-sentence note to the tutorial result block where the first panel is saved to the library, contrasting it with panels added directly to a dashboard.

Summary
This PR addresses #6124 with the following changes:
explore-analyze/visualize/manage-panels.md: Added a new "Linked panels and dashboard-only panels" section explaining the two panel states, their implications (edit propagation, data loss risk), and how to transition between them. Expanded the one-liner about Unlink from library into a full explanation of what it does, what remains unchanged in the library, and when to use it.explore-analyze/visualize/visualize-library.md: Added a new "Panel types compatible with the Visualize Library" section listing which panel types support the library (Lens, ES|QL, Maps, Vega, Discover sessions, legacy types) and which are always dashboard-only (ML panels, SLO panels, Alerts, layout elements).explore-analyze/visualize.md: Added a Visualize Library column to the panel type table so users can see at a glance whether each panel type can be saved as a shared library object. Added an intro sentence cross-linking to the new conceptual section. Updated the Discover sessions row description to accurately reflect that sessions are saved as shared objects (the previous wording implied they were always dashboard-only).Resolves
Closes #6124
