* fix(influxdb3): document exec-mem-pool-bytes usage for data persistence
Updates documentation to reflect that exec-mem-pool-bytes is used for both
query processing and parquet persistence operations, not just queries.
Based on source code analysis showing the memory pool is used by:
- Query executor for processing queries
- Persister for converting WAL data to Parquet format
Changes:
- Updated config description to include "data operations"
- Added memory usage info to durability docs for Parquet storage
- Added troubleshooting section for memory-related write performance
- Fixed capitalization of "object store" throughout
Addresses DAR #499
Source analysis: influxdb3/src/commands/serve.rs:772-798
Shows separate executors for queries and write path operations,
both using memory pools for data processing.
* fix(influxdb3): broken links to no-sync
* Closes#6509

for server URLs, ports, and tokens. Each product version sources these shared files.
Next steps: Edit the content/shared files to update any remaining product-specific
instructions in the step-by-step procedures if needed. Server, port, and token
conditionals are already configured throughout the documentation.
Add note to all Grafana integration pages about using Grafana Cloud
with local InfluxDB instances. The note recommends running Grafana
