What does this PR do? What is the motivation?

This PR adds information about managing GovCloud support cases because the process is different from other Datadog sites. I also renamed the the page/file for accuracy.

Resolves https://datadoghq.atlassian.net/browse/DOCS-12916.

Thanks for picking this up, Olivia -- the site-region split, portal URLs, file type list, and filter guidance all look accurate. Left a few inline comments, mostly around making the GovCloud section more self-sufficient for customers who are new to the portal.

The biggest item is the description frontmatter still referencing "the Zendesk portal" -- since this PR resolves DOCS-12916 (which was specifically about removing incorrect Zendesk references for US1-FED), that should be updated before merge.

The rest are heading hierarchy (h4 → h3), a missing Further Reading partial in the gov block, and two places where explicitly stating the .ddgov.support username suffix would prevent the most common portal support tickets we see.

Hi @OliviaShoup a few small suggestions for clarity and then there was a gov link inside the non gov shortcode- should that go somewhere else ?
