Package documentation is incorrect

The following discussion from !27746 (merged) should be addressed:

    If you cannot find the {package} Packages > List entry under your project's sidebar, it is not enabled in your GitLab instance.

    @sabrams This is not true. On a project I maintain, I first disabled Packages and then disabled Container registry. This demonstrates that Packages > List will not appear if Packages is enabled at the instance level but disabled at the package level. With Packages disabled and Container registry enabled (at the project level), Packages appears but only contains Container Registry. If both are disabled (at the project level), Packages disappears entirely from the project's sidebar. Would it be too out of scope to correct this paragraph in this MR?

    This is relevant because the Go proxy documentation now lists this section as a prerequisite to using the proxy. After responding to @sselhorn's comments, I replaced the section Enable the Go proxy with links to doc/administration/packages/index.md and this page (doc/user/packages/index.md).
