Replace empty placeholder (internal ADO work item link only) with comprehensive architecture documentation covering execution modes, engine design, subsystem lifecycle (prepare/provision/configure), storage pipeline, A/B update mechanism, gRPC server, datastore, COSI image format, commands reference, and design principles. Includes 8 mermaid diagrams: overview flow, execution modes, servicing type selection, subsystem lifecycle, storage pipeline, A/B update sequence, gRPC server, and end-to-end data flow.

Pull request overview
This PR replaces the placeholder Trident-Architecture.md with comprehensive Trident architecture documentation, covering execution modes, engine lifecycle, subsystem responsibilities, and key servicing workflows, with multiple Mermaid diagrams to illustrate system flow and update behavior.
Changes:
- Adds an end-to-end architectural overview (engine, datastore, subsystems) with Mermaid flow/sequence diagrams.
- Documents core servicing workflows (install/update/commit/rollback/diagnose/stream-disk) and the A/B update mechanism.
- Adds reference-oriented sections on COSI, gRPC server behavior, datastore usage, and Host Configuration structure.
- Fix broken anchor #ab-updates -> #ab-update to match Glossary heading - Fix management_os -> managementOs to match JSON schema (camelCase) Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
