Describe working on while the shared database connection is down

[koppor]

Low-risk documentation update, stacked on #668: the shared SQL database page now describes that changes made without connection are kept (also across restarts), that JabRef reconnects by itself, and that conflicts from that time go through the Update refused dialog. The paragraph and screenshot of the removed Connection lost dialog are gone.

Companion of JabRef/jabref#16814 (stacked on jabref#11879).

High-Level Assessment

Replacing the obsolete connection-dialog workflow with the current automatic recovery behavior is the appropriate approach. Retaining the retired workflow as historical guidance would confuse users and contradict current JabRef behavior.

Explain shared database outage recovery

• Replaces instructions for the retired **Connection lost** dialog with the current automatic reconnection workflow. Clarifies that disconnected edits persist locally across restarts, synchronize after reconnection, and use **Update refused** for conflicts; it also removes the obsolete screenshot reference.
