docs: explain lifecycle of validate & beforeValida

Browse Source 
Caused confusion here: https://discord.com/channels/967097582721572934/1091785894136139808/1092821186959921193

The initial expectation is that beforeValidate runs before any validation happens. However, it seems that client-side validation happens first nonetheless.

Please do check if this is 100% correct before merging.

### beforeValidate
Runs before the `create` and `update` operations. This hook allows you to add or format data before the incoming data is validated.
Runs before the `create` and `update` operations. This hook allows you to add or format data before the incoming data is validated server-side.
Please do note that this does not run before the client-side validation. If you added a `validate` function, this would be the lifecycle:
1. `validate` runs on the client
2. if successful, `beforeValidate` runs on the server
3. `validate` runs on the server
```ts
import { CollectionBeforeOperationHook } from 'payload/types';
