Align bot user for projects/groups term within docs

What does this MR do?

Follow-up to !77449 (comment 809016666)

This MR aligns the bot user for projects/groups terms for all project/group access token service accounts within the documentation. This should clarify the different types of service account as well as making the correlation between bot users for projects and groups better understandable.

Besides that, this MR also:

  • Adds a missing chapter about group access tokens to the token overview page, describing features and limitations (see doc/security/token_overview.md).
  • Corrects the linking within the group access token REST API page to use group instead of project access token scopes (see doc/api/group_access_tokens.md).

Author's checklist

If you are only adding documentation, do not add any of the following labels:

  • ~"frontend"
  • ~"backend"
  • ~"type::bug"
  • ~"database"

These labels cause the MR to be added to code verification QA issues.

Review checklist

Documentation-related MRs should be reviewed by a Technical Writer for a non-blocking review, based on Documentation Guidelines and the Style Guide.

  • If the content requires it, ensure the information is reviewed by a subject matter expert.
  • Technical writer review items:
    • Ensure docs metadata is present and up-to-date.
    • Ensure the appropriate labels are added to this MR.
    • If relevant to this MR, ensure content topic type principles are in use, including:
      • The headings should be something you'd do a Google search for. Instead of Default behavior, say something like Default behavior when you close an issue.
      • The headings (other than the page title) should be active. Instead of Configuring GDK, say something like Configure GDK.
      • Any task steps should be written as a numbered list.
      • If the content still needs to be edited for topic types, you can create a follow-up issue with the docs-technical-debt label.
  • Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the reviews above. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
  • Ensure a release milestone is set.
