Update from code changes: document selective publishing setting

[mintlify]

Summary

Documents the new Selective publishing editor setting that lets admins enable per-change checkboxes when publishing directly to the deployment branch.

Changes

• Added a "Selective publishing" section to the editor settings page: what the setting does, that it's off by default, that it applies only on an unprotected deployment branch, and that dependent changes (like a deleted page and its navigation entry) toggle together.
• Added a one-line mention with a link on the publish page's Publish action.
• Mirrored both changes in the Spanish, French, and Chinese translations.

Context

The web editor now toggles each pending change independently in the publish flow instead of grouping all configuration changes together, and adds a deployment-wide "Selective publishing" setting (persisted, default off) that gates the per-row checkboxes. Removal-related rows still select and deselect as a group so partial publishes stay consistent. The settings toggle ships unconditionally, but the per-row checkboxes in the publish flow are additionally gated behind a remote feature flag (scoped-publishing), so confirm rollout state before merging.

Overview
Documents the new Selective publishing editor setting and how it affects direct Publish on an unprotected deployment branch.

Adds a Selective publishing section to editor/settings (with #selective-publishing anchors in localized pages): per-change checkboxes in the publish flow, default off, scope limited to unprotected deployment-branch publishes, and dependent changes toggling together (e.g. page delete + nav entry). Extends the Publish action description on editor/publish with a link to that setting. The same updates are mirrored in Spanish, French, and Chinese.
