Clarify the publishing articles by removing "deploy" where appropriate and merge similar info

[adegeo]

Summary

• Tweaked the entire article to focus more on the environment where the app is run, versus a user running it on a computer.
• Pros/Cons of each publish mode or option.
• Changed a lot of the wording to remove "you" and "your" unless talking about examples the reader would do.
• Merged the two different publishing articles into the overview article.
• Talk about "Publish" as the action instead of "Deploy."
• Add containers.
• Linked to various related articles that talk about the modes.
• When talking about running an app, used phrasing like "the host environment" to cover any kind of deployment after publishing (cloud or local).

Fixes #41489
