docs: remove core18 references outside of release information
Metadata
Current evaluation
Docs-only PR closing #6270: strips core18 from how-to/reference docs and swaps in core22 examples (14 files, +29/-119). No maintainer review in 109 days; 3 author questions unanswered.
Suggested action: needs review
Reason: CI shows only 'Canonical CLA' passing with no docs build or lint run, and review status is 'pending (0 reviewers)' after 109 days, so nothing has validated the rendered output. The diff also makes unverified choices the author himself flagged: 'I have not performed verification' for the core18→core22 substitutions, while the repo's convention is now core26 (docs/explanation/bases.rst, change-from-core24-to-core26.rst, and starcraft-docs-style.instructions.md all use core26), so the replacements may land already outdated. The removal of core18 from docs/reference/bases.rst also conflicts with docs/how-to/crafting/specify-a-base.rst, which still keeps a 'deprecated base' section telling users to install snapcraft from the 7.x track for core18 — likely leaving a dangling link target and an unsupported-by-the-table path. Issue #6270 remains open noting numerous core18 references remain (e.g. docs/how-to/code/integrations/*.yaml still use base: core18), so this is a partial fix needing maintainer direction rather than a ready-to-land change.
