What does this PR do? What is the motivation?

Fixes DOCS-15458

Adds two new pages under Synthetic Testing and Monitoring:

  • /synthetics/bits_testing/ — how to access and run Bits Testing, Agent Profiles, reading results, generated test suites, and FAQ
  • /synthetics/goal_based_testing/ — the new Goal-Based Testing test type: creating a test, how it evaluates Pass/Fail, scheduling/editing, and supported locations

Both pages are linked from the Synthetic Monitoring landing page and added to the left nav, positioned above Platform.

Both pages are Preview-only, so mark them private to exclude them from the Algolia site search index and add a noindex meta tag for external search engines.
Replaces the TODO image placeholders with real product screenshots and adds a few more to illustrate Agent Profiles, generated test suites, and scheduling a Goal-Based test.

Moves the Supported locations section into the Create a Goal-Based
test section, matching how Browser Testing nests its Locations
subsection inside test configuration.
Specifies that the location restriction applies to Bits Testing and
Goal-Based tests, while Browser, HTTP, and Network Path tests
generated by Bits Testing support Private Locations like any other
Synthetic test.
Splits the Goal-Based test creation screenshot into two: the New
Synthetics Test type-selection dialog and the New Goal-Based Test
panel, each placed next to the step it illustrates.
