docs: Remove Chisel-related duplicated content
Metadata
Current evaluation
Merged as commit 888acff0: removed outdated, duplicated Chisel how-to docs from Rockcraft, deferring to Chisel's own docs; explanation page now covers Chisel's relation to Rockcraft, and a flaky custom-slice Spread test was dropped.
Resolution: closed resolved
Reason: The PR was approved by two reviewers and merged into main as commit 888acff0, deleting the Chisel-only guide content (+59/-551 across 14 files) and rewriting 'Install a custom package slice' with a placeholder package instead of a concrete one. Maintainer-requested follow-up from @medubelko (removing the Chisel-related Spread test that caused intermittent CI failures) was applied by the author and pushed before merge.

Issue body
Chiselling how-to section is outdated. Some of the pages contain Chisel-only content that is already covered in the Chisel docs themselves. As these pages are not related to Rockcraft and exist elsewhere.
Installing a custom slice was based on previous steps from the deleted guides. Instead of giving a specific package as an example, I added a placeholder that solves this problem.
I also updated the explanation page to focus on how Chisel relates to Rockcraft.
