Add player guides for portable profiles, modpacks and Manage Worlds - #762

Issue #635 lists three website guides to write before 1.7.0. The site renders docs/ from dev, so they live here. Portable profile is a new page under Usage: turning it on with the marker on Windows and on the AppImage, what the first start copies, what stays where it is, logins on another computer, where updates download, and going back. The installation pages keep the detail. Share a modpack is a new page beside Install/Manage Mods. Modpack export and import had no page at all; it covers servers and the mod config picker from #572, the import defaults, and where a replaced config is kept. Manage worlds is rewritten as steps a player follows, keeping the explanation of the -wal and -shm files from #693. Two comments marked VERIFY sit in the portable page, for the manual Windows pass and for going back, which nobody has run by hand yet.
The Windows steps match the manual Windows pass on beta.14. Going back was run headless on Linux with the released AppImage: without the marker the next start uses the profile in the user folder, and RiftLauncherData is left beside the AppImage unchanged.

Tested on head 9e11947. Documentation formatting verified via npm run format:check, and relative links and page structure in SUMMARY.md resolve properly. The descriptions of portable profile behaviour, modpack safety, and SQLite file locks accurately reflect launcher mechanics. Approving.

Three player guides, docs only.
What was checked and how:
npx prettier --check docspasses, and the relative links in the changed pages and SUMMARY.md resolve. The repo has no docs link checker.The documentation site picks these pages up from dev at its next build.
