docs: updated guides structure, removed deprecated sort option (#6767)
### Describe Your Changes

* `sort` param is unused by the current website engine, and was present only for compatibility
with previous website engine. It is time to remove it as it makes no effect
* re-structure guides content into folders to simplify assets management

To Send data to Vector you need to configure with a Prometheus remote write sink and forward metrics to that sink from at least 1 source.
You will need to replace the values in `<>` to match your setup.
## Minimum Config
```yaml
sources:
host_metrics_source:
type: host_metrics
sinks:
victoriametrics_sink:
type: prometheus_remote_write
inputs:
- host_metrics_source
endpoint: "https://<victoriametrics_url>/api/v1/write"
healthcheck:
enabled: false
```
## Basic Authentication
This adds support for basic authentication by defining the auth strategy, user, and password fields:
```yaml
sources:
host_metrics_source:
type: host_metrics
sinks:
victoriametrics_sink:
type: prometheus_remote_write
inputs:
- host_metrics_source
endpoint: "https://<victoriametrics_url>/api/v1/write"
auth:
strategy: "basic"
user: "<victoriametrics_user"
password: "<victoriametrics_password>"
healthcheck:
enabled: false
```
## Bearer / Token Authentication
This adds support for bearer/token authentication by defining the auth strategy and token fields:
```yaml
sources:
host_metrics_source:
type: host_metrics
sinks:
victoriametrics_sink:
type: prometheus_remote_write
inputs:
- host_metrics_source
endpoint: "https://<victoriametrics_url>/api/v1/write"
auth:
strategy: "bearer"
token: "<victoriametrics_token>"
healthcheck:
enabled: false
```
## VictoriaMetrics and VictoriaLogs
This combines the Bearer Authentication section with the [VictoriaLogs docs for Vector](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/data-ingestion/vector/),
so you can send metrics and logs with 1 agent to multiple sources:
```yaml
sources:
host_metrics_source:
type: host_metrics
journald_source:
type: journald
sinks:
victoriametrics_sink:
type: prometheus_remote_write
inputs:
- host_metrics_source
endpoint: "https://<victoriametrics_url>/api/v1/write"
auth:
strategy: "bearer"
token: "<token>"
healthcheck:
enabled: false
victorialogs_sink:
inputs:
- journald_source
type: elasticsearch
endpoints:
- "https://<victorialogs_url>/insert/elasticsearch/"
mode: bulk
api_version: "v8"
healthcheck:
enabled: false
query:
_msg_field: "message"
_time_field: "timestamp"
_stream_fields: "host,container_name"
```
