Pull request overview
This PR expands the AdGuard for Windows v8.0 App management documentation to explain the app routing/filtering model (compatibility list, exclusion lists, and handling of unknown apps), and adds a dedicated section describing the Filter unknown apps setting.
Changes:
- Added a new section describing how routing, filtering, and HTTPS filtering decisions are made (compatibility list vs. exclusion lists vs. unknown apps).
- Added a new Filter unknown apps section with UI screenshot and behavior breakdown.
- Removed an older app-management screenshot near the top of the page.

| The compatibility lists are continuously updated — and you can help improve them. If you notice that an app does not work correctly with filtering enabled, report it [on GitHub](https://github.com/AdguardTeam/CompatibilityIssues) or contact support via the app. Your feedback helps improve AdGuard for everyone. |

Maybe make it bold - an app does not work correctly with filtering enabled

I'd rather make CTA ("report it on GitHub") bold, but admonitions are already highlighting the text, aren't they?

| The *Filter unknown apps* setting allows you to choose between two modes — a safe default one where only trusted apps are filtered and a manual one where you decide which apps to filter. It affects only new and unknown applications. | ||

there was a nice table in the task, maybe we can use a table here rather than a list?

also, from the subheading of the list, it’s not entirely obvious what these categories are for. It might be worth explaining this more clearly:
Here is a quick overview of how different app categories behave depending on this setting:

is there a way to convey it more clearly? my understanding was that the Filter unknown apps option is enabled by default and determines how AdGuard handles new apps that are not yet present in the compatibility or exclusion lists. and then we can describe each scenario:
- when enabled: AdGuard automatically routes traffic...
- when disabled: You will need to manually configure routing for new apps...
