Configuration reference

Dense reference for Pinot configuration surfaces.

This section reorganizes the configuration surface into the core objects operators reach for most often: cluster, schema, table, ingestion, job specs, metrics, and plugin settings. The detailed source pages still live in the existing configuration-reference/ tree, so this landing page acts as a stable map rather than a rewrite.
