docs: document the CCH (Customizable Contraction Hierarchies) index

[swilly22]

Add a dedicated Indexing page for the CCH index covering creation via CREATE CCH INDEX DDL (including multi-relationship-type indexes), querying with db.idx.cch.query, deletion, incremental maintenance, listing in db.indexes(), persistence/replication, and best practices.

Wire the page into the Indexing navigation group and redirects, list it on the indexing overview, cross-link it from the vector index page, and add CCH-related terms to the spellcheck wordlist.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Added guidance for creating and using CCH indexes for weighted shortest-path queries, including examples, index management, incremental updates, persistence, and performance considerations.
  • Updated the indexing overview and related guidance to cover CCH indexes, and added the new page to the documentation navigation with a redirect.
  • Expanded the documented word list with CCH, chordal, customizable, customization, and Dijkstra.

The documentation adds a guide for CCH relationship indexes. The indexing overview, vector-index references, and navigation now include CCH index information.

Changes

CCH Index Documentation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
CCH index guide cypher/indexing/cch-index.mdx, .wordlist.txt	Adds information about CCH index creation, queries, management, maintenance, persistence, performance, and interface examples. Adds related terms to the word list.
Index overview and navigation cypher/indexing/index.mdx, cypher/indexing/vector-index.mdx, docs.json	Adds CCH to the index overview and type list, links to the guide from vector-index documentation, and adds the guide to navigation with a redirect.

Before / after behavior

• observed — Modified behavior in cypher/indexing/cch-index.mdx: Added the CCH indexing guide, covering index creation and constraints, query results and behavior, index management, maintenance and rebuild conditions, persistence and replication, performance guidance, and examples across supported interfaces.
• observed — Modified behavior in cypher/indexing/index.mdx: Adds the CCH index overview, describing weighted point-to-point routing queries over relationship graphs, hierarchy precomputation, microsecond lookups, and support for multiple relationship types.
• observed — Modified behavior in cypher/indexing/index.mdx: Updates the supported-index list from three types to four by adding CCH indexes for weighted point-to-point shortest-path queries.
• observed — Modified behavior in cypher/indexing/index.mdx: Adds CCH to the index types listed for results from CALL db.indexes().

366-366: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Use the Mintlify <Tip> component for the callout.

Line 366 uses a Markdown blockquote with a bold "Tip:" prefix. The path instructions prefer Mintlify callout components over hand-rolled callouts.

♻️ Proposed fix

-> **Tip:** Use a CCH index for repeated weighted shortest-path (routing) queries, a range index for exact or range-based property lookups, a full-text index for keyword search, and a vector index for semantic similarity search.
