This PR rewrites the disaster recovery docs based on the new recreate and status check procedures.

With regards to the functional changes there are three major things to note.

  1. The recovery of the system database is the same as before, even though the way we check if the system db is write available or not has changed.
  2. The step which removes lost servers now also includes recreating some databases. It was decided this mixing of recovering servers and databases is necessary to get recreate into the guide in the best way we could see.
  3. Previously it was not clear how to handle quarantined databases, even though the guide mentioned them in the intro. Now, it is more explicitly discussed how they are supposed to be handles during disaster recovery.

In the past, we have also gotten feedback that the disaster recovery docs are hard to follow. Therefore, this PR also includes refactoring which introduces a new guide structure. This new structure provides more explanations of why we are asking the user to do a certain thing.
