Summary

Part of #423
This PR moves Managing plugins for ECE from the reference docs to its corresponding page in the narrative docs.
It does the same for the Managing plugins for ECH section, and moves it to its corresponding ECH page.

Some of the ECH content, such as enabling plugins for a deployment was moved into a snippet as it duplicates the same little task on the Upload custom plugins and bundles page.

I think you need to tweak the ECH plugin overview page to make the pathways a little clearer before 🚢 :)

You can also [create](elasticsearch://extend/index.md) and add custom plugins.

To add plugins when creating a new deployment:
## Add plugins when creating a new {{ece}} deployment

🤔 Interesting, my agent says:
"Use this if chunks are often heading-only or heading + steps without the H1 (floating-only). Better for RAG and external search snippets.
For LLM/RAG: repeating {{ece}} in H2s is defensive and helps when chunks are retrieved out of context."

Done, thank you! Please have another 👀 when you get the chance @shainaraskas

Yes, that's true. I hope it's an improvement for the current state of the docs, anyway. :)
