Restores the 'End-to-end latency metric doesn't look accurate' section that was removed from the Data Streams Monitoring docs, so the in-app Troubleshooting link from the APPROXIMATION badge resolves to real content instead of the bare index page. Also fixes the section's instrumentation link to point at the Go/Java manual instrumentation docs instead of a circular link back to the setup section. Co-Authored-By: Warp <agent@warp.dev>

What does this PR do? What is the motivation?
The in-app APPROXIMATION badge on the DSM "Top latency contributors" widget links to
/data_streams/#end-to-end-latency-metric-doesnt-look-accurate, but that section was deleted from the docs in March 2025 (PR #27986) without migrating its content, leaving the link pointing at the bare index page.This PR restores the "End-to-end latency metric doesn't look accurate" section on the Data Streams Monitoring index page, with a heading that reproduces the anchor the in-app link expects. It also fixes the section's instrumentation link, which previously pointed back to the page's own Setup section instead of the Go/Java manual instrumentation docs.
No Jira ticket is attached yet; happy to add one if the team wants this tracked.
Merge readiness

Investigated with Warp (Oz) to find the commit and PR that deleted the original troubleshooting content, then used it to draft the restored section and fix its broken instrumentation link.
Additional notes
Worth checking the DSM frontend for other in-app links to
/data_streams/#...anchors, since this same content removal may have broken more than one.Co-Authored-By: Warp agent@warp.dev
