What does this PR do? What is the motivation?

Fixes DOCS-14385

Adds a new guide at /real_user_monitoring/guide/disable-rum/ explaining how to fully disable RUM. Customers frequently ask this question but no dedicated doc existed. Common confusion points: deleting the RUM application in Datadog stops ingestion (data is rejected at intake), but the SDK keeps running in the code until removed—and removing the SDK doesn't clean up the application in Datadog.

The guide covers:

  • How the SDK and the Datadog application are independent components
  • What happens if you only disable one side
  • How to pause collection without removing the SDK (sessionSampleRate: 0)
  • How to remove the SDK (CDN and npm)
  • How to delete the RUM application from Datadog

Also adds a link to the guide in the RUM guides index.
