Add Troubleshooting relayed connections teaching page (#791)
* docs: add Troubleshooting relayed connections teaching page Adds a help-section teaching doc that walks junior admins from 'Connection type: Relayed' to a fixed P2P connection (or a justified stop): mental model, the four players (NAT/Signal/STUN/Relay), ICE candidate reading, an elimination-based decision flow, a port-forwarding escape hatch, a worked walkthrough, and when relay is the right answer. Moves the troubleshooting-oriented sections (Checking Your Connection Type, Tips for Improving P2P Success) out of Understanding NAT and Connectivity, leaving it purely conceptual with pointers to the new page. Adds sidebar entry and a pointer from troubleshooting-client. * fix: correct nftables example for STUN outbound rule The STUN service runs on UDP 80/443/3478/5555, but the example rule allowed TCP/443. Also note that nftables resolves hostnames at ruleset-load time only, which matters for a dynamic geo-distributed endpoint pool.
