Issue Description

The Oracle RAC setup page uses a generic shortcode for the "Create the Datadog user" step that shows CREATE USER datadog (non-CDB), but the YAML configuration example on the same page hardcodes username: 'c##datadog' (CDB/multitenant) with no explanation.

Oracle RAC supports both CDB and non-CDB configurations depending on the Oracle version and setup:

  • Oracle 11g RAC: always non-CDB — use datadog
  • Oracle 12c+ RAC (CDB/multitenant): use c##datadog
  • Oracle 12c+ RAC (non-CDB): use datadog

The "Create the Datadog user" section should use the same tab structure as the self-hosted Oracle setup page (Multi-tenant, Non-CDB, Oracle 11), and the YAML example should be updated to match with tabs showing the correct username for each configuration.
