docs: Add reference documentation for the RemoteBuildService
Metadata
Current evaluation
Adds RemoteBuildService reference documentation; all 15 listed CI checks pass, but after 210 days without activity it still has no reviewer or review feedback.
Suggested action: needs review
Reason: All listed CI checks pass, with no failing or pending checks, zero unresolved comments, and the conventional-title policy satisfied. The 210-day inactivity warrants renewed maintainer attention, but there is no evidence of abandonment, rejection, or supersession that would justify closing it.

CRAFT-4505
I tried a fresh approach on this one — instead of writing it myself, I
acted as a sloperator, asking Copilot (specifically Claude Haiku 4.5)
to write this slopumentation, referencing the other service reference
docs and the current open PRs for service reference docs. I also had
it reference the Snapcraft documentation to determine what additional
references would be useful to an application author.
I've kept the commit history as I either did things manually or asked Claude to do them, and I have read through the full final version to verify its technical correctness.
