Document Deployments remediation process and behavior

[Copilot]

This PR adds comprehensive documentation for Pulumi Deployments remediation functionality, addressing the lack of detail about what happens when remediation runs.

Changes Made

Added new section: "Understanding Drift Remediation"

• Explains the technical process (pulumi up --refresh)
• Details the step-by-step remediation workflow:
  1. Refresh the state
  2. Compare with desired state
  3. Generate execution plan
  4. Apply changes
• Clarifies that remediation treats IaC as the authoritative source of truth

Added new section: "When Drift is Detected"

• Explains three response options when drift occurs:
  1. Remediate drift (restore to IaC state)
  2. Refresh (accept cloud changes)
  3. Manual review
• Provides guidance on choosing the appropriate approach

Enhanced existing content with cross-references

• Updated brief remediation mention to link to detailed documentation
• Added reference from auto-remediation configuration step

Added guidance sections

• When to use remediation vs alternatives
• Safety considerations and best practices
• Clear comparison between remediation and refresh operations

Why This Matters

Previously, the documentation only briefly mentioned that remediation "will run a pulumi up --refresh to treat the Pulumi program as the source of truth," but didn't explain what this actually means for users or what they can expect to happen to their infrastructure.

This documentation now provides:

• Clear understanding of the remediation process
• Guidance on when remediation is appropriate
• Safety considerations for production environments
• Technical details about the underlying operations

Fixes #15379.

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• cdn.cypress.io
  • Triggering command: /usr/local/bin/node index.js --exec install (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to my firewall allow list

don't change anything in the yarn.lock file and make it 2 paragraphs total, its still too verbose.

this is good but add back the explanation of what a remediation does

Added back the explanation of what remediation does while keeping it concise. The documentation now includes the technical process: refreshing state, comparing with desired state, and generating/applying changes to align infrastructure with code. Commit 8674aae.
