Adds the tier missing between Standalone and the cross-region topologies: a single cluster in one region, surviving the loss of a node or of a single AZ through Region Failover.

Written to match the cross-region page — same AZ definition (a data center, or a compartment of one), same Latencies: and Supports High Availability: lists — plus a row in the comparison table and a new diagram. Both locales, Nightly only.

The latency list carries no millisecond values: the ones on the cross-region page are labelled examples, and there are no measured single-region numbers to quote.

DOC_LANG=en and DOC_LANG=zh pnpm check:links both pass.

The disaster recovery overview jumped from GreptimeDB Standalone straight
to the cross-region topologies, leaving out the tier most production
clusters actually run: a single cluster inside one region, tolerating the
loss of a node or of a single AZ through Region Failover.

Add that section to the overview in both locales, following the shape of
the cross-region page (AZ definition, Latencies, Supports High
Availability), and add a matching row to the solution comparison table.
The section states the conditions the RPO and RTO targets depend on:
Region Failover is disabled by default, the surviving Datanodes need
spare capacity, and the recovery time is dominated by WAL replay.

Add Single-region-single-cluster.svg for the section, drawn in the same
style as the existing hand-authored SVG diagrams.
The Datanode in AZ B was drawn with a line into the metadata backend,
which it never talks to. Route both Datanodes onto a shared bus that
feeds only the remote WAL and the object storage, and give Metasrv its
own link to the metadata backend.
