Shubham Padia 304d948416 docs: Replace Advanced with relevant section for user Preferences. 
This is a followup commit to #30824.
Fixes
https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/stream/9-issues/topic/.F0.9F.8E.AF.20help.20not.20updated.20for.20new.20preferences.20sections/near/1899330.
git grep in the help directory will still show up results for `Advanced`
but those are mostly used in either plain english language instructions
or refer to some other part of the app. At the point of writing this
commit, there were 6 results for `Advanced`, 4 of which were plain
english, 1 refers to the Advanced settings in chrome for desktop
notifications, and another one refers to `Advanced configurations` for
channel settings.

Manage inactive channels

In normal Zulip usage, channels fall in and out of use. By default, Zulip automatically moves channels that haven't been used in a while to the Inactive section at the bottom of your channels list in the left sidebar. This helps prevent low-traffic channels from cluttering the left sidebar.

You can configure Zulip to move (demote) inactive channels more or less aggressively. This is an advanced setting; you can safely ignore it if this is your first time using Zulip.

Manage inactive channels

{start_tabs}

{settings_tab|preferences}

  1. Under Information, configure Demote inactive channels.

{end_tabs}

The default is Automatic, which demotes inactive channels once you're subscribed to a minimum total number of channels. Always and Never either demote or don't demote inactive channels regardless of how many channels you have.
