  • I have read and followed the Contributing docs, especially the "First-time contributing?" section.
  • This PR has content that I did not fully write myself.
  • I have the experience and knowledge necessary to understand, review, and validate all content in this PR.1

This PR shuffles the Deploy section a bit, but mostly it rewrites the agent-to-gateway deployment pattern page. This pattern is popular with users and the current documentation lacked thorough explanations and examples.

EDIT: I asked an AI agent to analyze the #otel-collector Slack threads to find out what we really needed to add to this page. I tried vetting everything by cross-checking across different agents. And I spent a good chunk of time editing. Hopefully there aren't too many mistakes. 🤞

This is part of the cleanup from Phase 1 and contributes to #8793.

Sorry for all the pings, folks! Git got the best of me. Since this is a complete mess, I'm closing now.

Some fairy godmother decided to work some git magic and now this PR is...back to where it should be? Tentatively going to try again.
