Intro to Replicated updated to include both the Platform Overview and the description of the Commercial Software Distribution Platform. (Previously, these were two different topics)

Updated this diagram to reflect an EC install in a VM, and updated the description of the diagram below accordingly. Tried to keep the description fairly high level and also make key features bold/xrefs so this is easier to skim


Finally, the diagram shows how [**instance data**](instance-insights-event-data) is automatically sent from the customer environment to the Vendor Portal by the Replicated SDK API and the KOTS Admin Console. Additionally, tooling from the open source [**Troubleshoot**](https://troubleshoot.sh/docs/collect/) project is used to generate and send [**support bundles**](preflight-support-bundle-about), which include logs and other important diagnostic data.
