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Chiselling how-to section is outdated.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.
