This PR adds Vector Database project type guidance to the vector, semantic, hybrid, RAG, and multimodal search pages.

Fixes #8325

Page What changed
Search use case Introduces the two Serverless search project types. Links vector terms to the Vector search glossary. Recommends Vector Database when the workload is mainly vector-based.
Semantic search for text Adds a Serverless project-type recommendation in the intro.
Semantic search with semantic_text Recommends Vector Database when embeddings are primary; Elasticsearch project for ML-node or mainly lexical search.
Semantic search quickstart Extends prerequisites with the same Serverless project-type guidance.
Hybrid search Adds project-type guidance in the intro.
Hybrid search with semantic_text Adds project-type guidance before requirements.
RAG Recommends Vector Database for embedding-driven retrieval.
Semantic search with ELSER Notes that this tutorial needs ML nodes (Elasticsearch project), and points to semantic_text otherwise.
Multimodal search Adds project-type guidance in the intro.
Tutorial: Build multimodal search Specifies Vector Database in Before you begin, plus a trial signup link.

…ges.

Help Serverless users choose between Elasticsearch and Vector Database projects where embeddings are the primary workload.
