Document rescan-tests command and remove obsolete sideload.sh script

[rquidute]

Summary

Documentation for #1083 (Matter v1.7
TE2). Depends on:

• Add POST /test_collections/rescan endpoint for in-process test discovery certification-tool-backend#357
• Add rescan-tests command for in-process test collection discovery certification-tool-cli#110

Changes

• Matter TH User Guide: rewrote the "Test-Harness Side Load Feature" steps to replace the
  stop.sh/start.sh full-restart cycle with a new "Rescanning Side-Loaded Test Cases"
  subsection documenting th-cli rescan-tests, including notes on the busy-engine error,
  malformed-script handling, and that a full restart still works as a fallback. Also added a
  "Rescan Test Collections" entry under the CLI's "Essential Commands" section, and a revision
  history row.
• Removed scripts/sideload.sh: the old shell-script workaround for the same flow
  (docker exec test discovery + full container restart + polling). Confirmed via git grep
  that no other tracked script, doc, or CI workflow in the repo referenced it — it's superseded
  by th-cli rescan-tests.

Testing

• N/A (docs + script removal only). Verified via git grep -n "sideload" that no other tracked
  file references scripts/sideload.sh before deleting it.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The user guide now documents th-cli rescan-tests for side-loaded test scripts. The Side Load procedure uses CLI or API rescanning instead of backend restart steps. New documentation describes the rescan endpoint, test-engine busy behavior, handling of unparseable scripts, and full restart support. The CLI reference and revision history include the new command.

CodeRabbit correctly flagged that this branch's pinned `backend`/`cli` submodule commits don't yet include the `rescan-tests`/`POST /api/v1/test_collections/rescan` feature — it only lands once project-chip/certification-tool-backend#357 and project-chip/certification-tool-cli#110 merge and this repo's submodule pointers get bumped to include them.

The doc content itself is correct (matches what those two PRs implement); it's just sequenced ahead of its dependencies. Converting to draft until #357 and cli#110 merge and the submodule bumps land here, then I'll rebase/bump and mark ready for review.
