Fixes DOCS-13085
Adds a log-type-to-ingestion-path decision framework to
azure-automated-log-forwarding.md, and a VNet/NSG flow logs setup subsection toazure-manual-log-forwarding.md. Customers repeatedly choose the wrong Azure log ingestion path (Event Hub vs. Blob Storage vs. Log Analytics Workspace) and fail silently — most acutely when the source is VNet flow logs or NSG flow logs, which only support Storage Account destinations.Changes in

PR 2 is branched off PR 1 (
docs13085/azure-log-forwarding-cli-first), so this PR is targeted against PR 1's branch as base while PR 1 is in flight. After PR 1 merges, GitHub auto-rebases PR 2 against master.Merge instructions

Additional notes
Marked as WORK IN PROGRESS pending follow-up review.
Three rows of the decision table (Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Microsoft Entra ID logs, and the multi-destination rows for Activity / Resource logs) would benefit from an Azure SME fact-check during review. The VNet/NSG flow logs Blob-Storage-only constraint and Log Analytics Workspace data-export-rule path are confirmed against Microsoft documentation.
