Summary

Adds a new "Cross-project search scope for rules" section to the alerting rules page (create-manage-rules.md), explaining that:

  • Alerting rules query data across linked projects based on the space-level CPS scope, not a per-rule setting
  • The project picker on rule pages is read-only -- to change which projects a rule queries, update the space's CPS configuration

This reflects the actual implementation, which differs from the original issue description (no per-rule CPS scope selector).

Closes elastic/docs-content-internal#688

Test plan

  • Verify the page builds correctly at explore-analyze/alerting/alerts/create-manage-rules
  • Confirm applies_to tags render properly (serverless preview / stack unavailable)
  • Check cross-links to CPS pages resolve correctly
