Add comprehensive "Getting Help" documentation for DevOps team

[Copilot]

Overview

This PR adds a comprehensive "Getting Help" documentation section to address the need for centralized guidance on how DevOps team members can get assistance when working with infrastructure.

Problem

The existing documentation had excellent technical content (services, runbooks, post-mortems, etc.) but lacked a clear central place for team members to understand:

• How to get help when they're stuck
• Who to contact for different types of issues
• Emergency procedures and escalation paths
• Best practices for asking effective questions

Solution

Added docs/docs/getting-help.md

A comprehensive 212-line guide covering:

• 🆘 Emergency Procedures: Clear escalation paths for critical infrastructure issues
• 🙋 Getting Help by Problem Type: Service-specific contact information and resources
• 📚 Self-Help Resources: Links to existing documentation with troubleshooting workflows
• 🛠️ Troubleshooting Workflows: Step-by-step guides for common scenarios
• 📞 Contact Information: When to use Discord vs GitHub issues
• 📝 Effective Help Requests: Guidelines and examples for getting faster assistance
• ❓ FAQs: Common scenarios new team members face

Updated docs/docs/index.md

Added the new "Getting Help" section to the main documentation index with appropriate icon and description.

Key Features

• Emergency procedures with clear escalation steps
• Service-specific guidance with direct links to relevant documentation
• Self-service resources to reduce support burden
• Example help requests showing what information to include
• Learning resources for skill development
• All internal links verified to ensure documentation integrity

Example Content

The guide includes practical examples like:

🚨 PostgreSQL Connection Issues

**Goal**: Deploy new bot update to production
**Expected**: Bot should connect to database normally
**Actual**: Getting connection timeout errors

**Environment**: Production bot deployment
**Started**: ~2:30 PM UTC
**Impact**: Bot is offline, affecting all Discord functionality

**Error**: `connection to server at "postgres.pydis.svc.cluster.local" failed: timeout expired`

**Already tried**:
- Checked pod logs (show connection attempts)
- Verified database pod is running
- No recent config changes

**Need help**: Investigating why connections are timing out

Integration

• Follows existing documentation patterns and formatting
• Uses consistent emoji and markdown styling
• Integrates with existing navigation structure
• All linting checks pass

This documentation fills a critical gap by providing DevOps team members with a clear path to getting help, ultimately improving team efficiency and reducing time spent figuring out who to ask or where to look for assistance.

Fixes #597.
