Overhaul of the Sentry data source documentation. The previous docs consisted of the README.md only. This update restructures into a flat multi-page layout under docs/sources/ with dedicated topic pages, following data source documentation conventions.

All content was verified against the current plugin codebase for accuracy, including UI labels, field names, default values, error messages, and supported features.

Changes
Restructured README.md to a development/contributor focus: Removed user-facing documentation, added link to published docs site, retained build, test, and contribution instructions

_index.md (new): Requirements (Grafana >=10.4.0, Sentry account, auth token), supported features table, supported query types overview, get started links, additional features, plugin updates, related resources

configure.md (new): Prerequisites, Sentry auth token creation steps, add data source steps, Sentry settings table (URL, Org, Auth Token marked as required), additional settings (Skip TLS Verify, Secure Socks Proxy), connection verification with exact success message, provisioning examples (YAML and Terraform)

query-editor.md (new): All seven query types (Issues, Events, Spans, Events Stats, Spans Stats, Metrics, Stats) with field tables, query examples and use cases for each type

template-variables.md (new): Supported variable types table (Projects, Environments, Teams) with display/actual values, create variable steps, three practical examples (project filter, cascading project/environment, team-scoped projects)

annotations.md (new): Supported query types table with recommendations, annotation query setup steps, five examples (unresolved issues, high-priority, release-specific, error events, template variable-driven)

alerting.md (new): Supported query types table with data type notes, alert rule creation steps, six examples (error volume, unresolved issue count, slow transactions, crash rate, crash-free rate, quota usage), limitations

troubleshooting.md (new): Authentication errors (401, 0 projects), connection errors, query errors (no data, timeout, unknown query type, invalid org slug, 404 spans, 400 detail), annotation errors, alerting errors, template variable errors, performance/rate limit issues, debug logging instructions
