Pull request overview
Adds documentation for the newly provisioned managed Allocator and Ping (Discovery) services within the Multiplayer Servers architecture docs, and updates existing allocation guides to reference the managed behavior.
Changes:
- Added new architecture pages for Allocators and Ping Services, including UI navigation, lifecycle phases, and token guidance.
- Documented Region-to-Allocator attachment behavior and automatic environment variable injection, including migration guidance.
- Updated server allocation docs to clarify sidecar background and to note that managed allocators inject
ALLOC_*variables automatically.
