Adds a short, plain-language explanation to the authentication section of the Telemetry export page on why the vault needs an infrastructure-access grant — and reassures that it is safe.

The grant sentence now reads:

To enable this, grant infrastructure access to the vault once for your Enclave cloud account: the collector reads your secret once to set up the export, so the Vespa infrastructure needs read access to it. This access is given to the platform's identity, not to people — having access to a host does not let anyone read your secret. It stays within your own cloud account, is read-only, and is used only to set up the collector, so your secret is never exposed to others, including Vespa operators.

Framed around the grant being to a managed platform identity (not "the host" / host logins), within the tenant's own cloud account, read-only, and setup-only — accurate and reassuring without exposing on-host storage details.
