It was approved by two reviewers and all CI checks passed; duplicate Chisel pages were deliberately left for later removal.

Issue body
Many docs make passing reference to core24 as the default base. This PR updates the tutorials and how to guides to core26.
**Exceptions**
12-factor tutorials have been left out, as agreed.
Following discussion in the ticket ROCKCRAFT-294, the following are also excluded:
- [Chisel a rock](https://documentation.ubuntu.com/rockcraft/latest/how-to/chiselling/chisel-existing-rock/) is already updated in the draft PR. However, the purpose seems to be the same as the tutorial [Shrink a rock with Chisel](https://documentation.ubuntu.com/rockcraft/latest/tutorial/chisel/). As the how-to is already quite detailed, the tutorial will be removed in a future PR.
- [Create a package slice for Chisel](https://documentation.ubuntu.com/rockcraft/latest/how-to/chiselling/create-slice/) will be removed as it duplicates content in Chisel.
Metadata descriptions were added to all edited documentation pages.
