What does this PR do? What is the motivation?

Resolves https://datadoghq.atlassian.net/browse/DOCS-12502

Adds a Billing plans section near the top of the Pricing page that defines the two billing plans for host-based products (Infrastructure Monitoring, APM, and Database Monitoring) up front:

  • High watermark plan (HWMP), noted as suited to environments with stable usage
  • Hybrid monthly/hourly plan (MHP), noted as suited to ephemeral environments

This makes hourly billing visible as a standard option and frames when each plan fits, rather than leaving the plan definitions buried in per-product pricing details.

The existing inline plan definitions under the Infrastructure Monitoring, APM, and Database Monitoring sections are left in place. A possible follow-up is to de-duplicate those into references to the new section.

AI assistance

Used Claude Code to help research who to contact for more info on billing, draft the initial wording for the page update, and make a draft PR.

Define the high watermark and hybrid monthly/hourly billing plans up
front so hourly billing is visible as an option for host-based products.
