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.
