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}
2. 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.
