Adds a user guide to show case how external authentication can be configured using NGINX Gateway Fabric.
Enhancing the TLSRoute doc to add Terminate mode, which is now supported. This doc will be renamed after the 2.7 release (and redirect properly configured) since it is now more than just passthrough.
Adds information about error log json format
* update least_time LB method availability for NGINX OSS
TCPRoute and UDPRoute have graduated to v1, so the version are now updated.
Document the new NginxProxy useClusterIP field, which routes upstream traffic to
a Service's ClusterIP instead of individual Pod IPs to reduce NGINX reloads on
backend Pod churn. Notes the fallback cases (headless, ExternalName, L4/stream)
and the default value.
Add document on supporting http2 to upstream through the appProtocol field on a Service.
Add TLS session and ECDH listener options to NGF compatibility doc
Update USP documentation to add section on routing to Service ClusterIP.

* Update USP docs under keepalive connections for better readability

* Update the keepalive connections value in example blocks from 32 to 24
Documents the useClusterIP field of UpstreamSettingsPolicy in the Upstream Settings Policy guide.

The field shipped with the UpstreamSettingsPolicy useClusterIP feature but was not documented (the guide covered zoneSize, loadBalancingMethod, and keepAlive only). This adds a "Route upstream traffic to the Service ClusterIP" section with an example policy, verification steps, and a note about the load balancing trade-off and the Service types it applies to.
Adds two user guides for GatewayLink feature: quickstart and multicluster guide.
Add document for NGF's integration with F5 AI Guardrails.
