docs: update rich text to HTML conversion documentation (#12465)

Fixes #8168, #8277

The fact that `lexicalHTMLField` doesn't work with live preview was
already clarified at the beginning of the page. I mentioned it again in
the dedicated section because it seems there was still confusion.

Also, I reordered and hierarchized the headings correctly. The
introduction said there were two ways to convert to HTML, but there were
four headings with the same level. I also made the headings a little
shorter to make the table of contents easier to parse.

### Internal Links
By default, Payload doesn't know how to convert **internal** links to JSX, as it doesn't know what the corresponding URL of the internal link is. You'll notice that you get a "found internal link, but internalDocToHref is not provided" error in the console when you try to render content with internal links.
