This PR documents the user-visible layout behavior of Control nodes when they are used inside Containers.
When a Control is not inside a Container, it can be positioned manually using anchors, offsets, and presets. However, when a Control is a direct child of a Container, those manual options no longer affect it, and the Container takes over the layout.
This change adds a brief explanation to the online manual to clarify this behavior for users, without exposing internal properties or implementation details.
This PR addresses the user confusion discussed in godotengine/godot#108179 by documenting the observable layout behavior of Controls inside Containers.
