Summary

Restructures the Supply test input section on the Use the YAML editor page — renamed Provide data for a test run — so all three ways to supply test data are actually explained, not just one:

  • Previously, only the Historical option (reuse data from a previous execution) was documented; Document and Manual were listed but never explained.
  • Adds a dedicated subsection for each option: Use a document from Elasticsearch, Type your own JSON, and Reuse data from a previous run.
  • Documents the time-range filter next to the historical execution picker (defaults to the last week).
  • Replaces "input data" with plain language ("data") throughout the section.
  • Aligns the test-run dialog name (Test workflow) across the Use the YAML editor, Monitor workflow execution, and Event-driven triggers pages — it was previously called the Run workflow dialog in one place.
  • Updates cross-references on the Monitor workflow execution and Event-driven triggers pages to point to the renamed section.

Related to #7350. This PR documents the time-range filter on the historical picker, but doesn't yet cover the anchor-to-selected-run and cleared-selection-when-out-of-range behaviors that issue also asked for.
