Renames all user-facing prose per the 9.5 product-naming decision (elastic/docs-content-internal#1242): - "EDOT Collector" → Elastic Agent - "EDOT SDKs / EDOT {Language}" → Elastic OTel SDKs / Elastic OTel {Language} - "EDOT Cloud Forwarder" → Elastic Cloud Forwarder - Generic "EDOT" brand → {{edot}} (Elastic OpenTelemetry) Also updates docset.yml: edot sub → "Elastic OpenTelemetry". 119 files updated across troubleshoot/, solutions/observability/, reference/fleet/, reference/observability/, release-notes/ (historical pre-9.5 entries preserved), and contribute-docs/. All URL slugs, machine product-IDs, and cross-repo link paths are unchanged. Code blocks with literal log output / SDK strings preserved. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

What does this PR do?
Renames all user-facing prose per the 9.5 product-naming decision (elastic/docs-content-internal#1242):
{{edot}}→ Elastic OpenTelemetryAlso updates
docset.yml:edotsub →"Elastic OpenTelemetry".119 files across
troubleshoot/,solutions/observability/,reference/fleet/,reference/observability/,contribute-docs/,get-started/,manage-data/, andrelease-notes/.Why is it important?
docs-content is the largest consumer of EDOT terminology and the hub for quickstarts, use cases, APM, logs, and troubleshooting guides. It needs to consistently reflect the new names before the 9.5 GA cutover.
