Adds a new VMware Kubernetes Service (VKS) install page under Getting started → Install on clusters (Calico Enterprise), wired into the sidebar after TKG.

The page covers installing Calico Enterprise on VKS:

Part 1 — Supervisor Service setup (Carvel package build/publish)
Part 2 — guest-cluster deployment, with optional Windows node support
Parts 3–4 — air-gapped bundle/image relocation

Updates to #2809

Add a "VMware Kubernetes Service (VKS)" page to the Calico Enterprise
install-on-clusters section and wire it into the sidebar after TKG.

Covers installing Calico Enterprise on VKS: Part 1 Supervisor Service setup
(Carvel package build/publish), Part 2 guest-cluster deployment with optional
Windows node support, and Parts 3-4 air-gapped bundle/image relocation.

Ported from tigera/vks CE-install.md: blockquote callouts converted to
Docusaurus admonitions, an internal vSphere lab URL removed, the private-
registry cross-link made site-relative, and $[prodname] used in body prose.

Copy the VKS install page into calico-enterprise_versioned_docs/version-3.23-2
and add it to that version's sidebar after TKG. Also switch the private-registry
cross-link from an absolute /latest path to a relative .mdx link so it resolves
to the correct version on both the latest and versioned pages.

- Fix "Configmap" -> "ConfigMap" (correct Kubernetes kind casing) in the Step 6 heading.
- Use kubectl apply -f for the Tigera license (idempotent on re-runs) instead of create -f.
- Use grep -E 'tigera|calico' in the verification step (portable; BRE \| isn't on BSD/macOS grep).

Copilot's /latest-link comment was already resolved by the prior relative-.mdx-link change.
Applied to both the latest and 3.23-2 versioned copies.

Reorganize into Big picture / Before you begin / How to / Next steps to match
the other "Install on clusters" pages (tkg, openshift, etc.); the Parts 1-4
procedure now lives under How to as ### subsections. Drop the body --- rules
(headings already delimit sections), rename per-part "Prerequisites" headings
to avoid duplicate slugs, update in-page anchor links to the new slugs, and add
a Next steps section. Applied to both the latest and 3.23-2 versioned copies.
