[OnWeek] Fix Vale rule violations in manage-data (#3869)

This PR is part of the OnWeek project about fixing Vale rule violations
in docs-content.

It fixes warnings and suggestions in the top-level `manage-data` files
and the `manage-data/_snippets` subfolder.

Assisted by Cursor.

 ## Learn how data is stored
 
 % Topic: Learning about Elastic data store primitives
 
-The fundamental unit of storage in {{es}}, the index, is a collection of documents uniquely identified by a name or an alias. These documents go through a process called mapping, which defines how a document and the fields it contains are stored and indexed, and a process called text analysis in which unstructured text is converted into a structured format that’s optimized for search.

+After you've added data to {{es}}, you need to manage it over time. For example, you can specify that data be deleted after a retention period or store data in multiple tiers with different performance characteristics.
 
-Strategies for managing data depend on the type of data and how it's being used. For example, with a collection of items you want to search, like a catalog of products, the value of the content remains relatively constant over time so you want to be able to retrieve items quickly regardless of how old they are. Whereas with a stream of continuously-generated timestamped data, such as log entries, the data keeps accumulating over time, so you need strategies for balancing the value of the data against the cost of storing it.
