Pull Request Overview
This PR adds documentation for new exit node selection and auto-apply behavior features in NetBird. The changes explain how administrators can configure exit nodes with optional auto-apply settings and how client-side user preferences are handled.
- Updates section title from "Routing Peer Selection" to "Exit node selection and auto-apply behavior"
- Documents the "Skip Auto Apply" feature that allows exit nodes to be available without automatic enablement
- Explains client override behavior where user selections take precedence over management preferences

| Currently, this is exclusively configured through the dashboard and cannot be influenced by the client. | ||
| Administrators configure exit nodes from the dashboard, and can optionally mark the default route (0.0.0.0/0) as selected by default. Clients will then auto-apply the selected exit node if the route is configured with **Auto Apply** or the user has made a local choice on the device. |

The sentence is missing a comma before 'and can optionally mark'. It should read: 'Administrators configure exit nodes from the dashboard, and can optionally mark the default route (0.0.0.0/0) as selected by default.'
