docs: asset kinds and per-source asset aliases - #15633

Documents the two user-visible halves of the identity work: * Asset Kinds -- an optional, descriptive kind per Asset (repository, service, host, ...), drawn from an editable registry rather than a fixed list. * Asset Identity -- per-source aliases (namespace / type / value), what makes an identifier resolve to exactly one Asset, why user-asserted aliases survive automation, and why there is no update action. Also documents how connector Auto-Mapping now chooses a Product: the tool's own identifier first, the name second, a new Product last -- and that turning the feature on changes nothing about mappings that already exist.

Description
Documentation for the asset-identity work in DefectDojo Pro (asset model, Phase 4). Docs-only; no code changes.
Two pages gain sections:
Assets (Pro) —
docs/content/asset_modelling/engagements_tests/PRO__assets.mdconnector:namespace is written by sync rather than by hand, and why there is no update action (an identifier is asserted or withdrawn — editing one in place would re-point identity leaving no trace of what it used to mean).Manage Records (connectors) —
docs/content/connectors/upstream/manage_records.mdpaymentsstop being permanently fused by that coincidence. Also records that enabling the feature changes nothing about existing Mappings, and that remapping a Record by hand always wins.Both features sit behind
DD_V3_ASSET_ALIASES, which is off by default; the docs say so where it matters.Test Configuration
Documentation only — no application code is touched.
