Changes

Rewrites overview sections for all five on-premises service installation pages to clearly distinguish between the server-side service and the editor plugin it supports:

  • Hyperlinking service: Now states it is a server-side component that powers the Link Checker and Enhanced Media Embed plugins, which must be configured separately to connect to it.
  • Image Proxy service: Clarifies it provides back-end capabilities used by the Image Editing plugin.
  • Spelling service: Clarifies it powers the Spell Checker plugin.
  • Export to PDF service: Notes it can be used as the back end for the Export to PDF plugin or directly via its REST API.
  • Import from Word and Export to Word service: Notes it can be used as the back end for the Import/Export Word plugins or directly via the REST API.

Also fixes page titles and descriptions that used inconsistent "service server-side component" phrasing, replacing with "server-side service".

Context

Reported by @metricjs

…e docs

Rewrite overview sections for all five on-premises service pages to
clearly distinguish between the server-side service and the editor
plugin it supports. Services with APIs (Export to PDF, Import/Export
Word) now document both plugin-backed and direct API usage paths.

Affected pages:
- Hyperlinking service
- Image Proxy service
- Spelling service
- Export to PDF service
- Import from Word and Export to Word service
Attribute link validation and media embed resolution to their respective
plugins for the Hyperlinking service, and correct the Image Proxy overview
to state it only fetches image content, performs no editing, and does not
resolve media embeds.

Resolve conflicts in Export to PDF and Import/Export Word overview
partials by keeping DOC-3517 service vs plugin structure and adopting
DOC-3516 service license key wording.
