Pull request overview
Adds documentation for usage-based network pricing for Aiven for Apache Kafka® (Inkless), and connects it into the Kafka docs IA so readers can find pricing and usage details from Inkless and Diskless topic docs.
Changes:
- Adds a new concept page describing network pricing, usage measurement, cost drivers, and where to view usage.
- Updates Inkless and Diskless topic docs to reference the new network pricing page.
- Updates the Inkless service creation guide to reflect stream load selection and adds a cost estimate review section.

| - **Topic type**: Classic topics and Diskless topics have different ingress and | ||
| egress rates. For current network pricing rates, see the | ||
| [Aiven pricing page](https://aiven.io/pricing). | ||
| - **Traffic split**: The share of traffic that uses Classic topics or Diskless topics |

Is this covered by the previous point?
It feels added because we have it in our calculator page.

| ## Limitations | ||
|
|
||
| Expensive networking architectures may be flagged as breach of our fair usage policy. In such a case we will contact you to discuss suitable adjustments. This includes but is not limited to inter-regional traffic, to-internet traffic, or excessive inter-az traffic on diskless topics. |
