Drop Standalone framing from release docs; describe rename as Hosts → Machines

Browse source 
The internal rename chain in rc.1-rc.5 went Agents -> Standalone ->
Machines but neither Agents nor Standalone shipped as user-visible
labels for the Pulse Agent inventory page. Users coming from v5 know
the page as Hosts. The rc.6 release docs incorrectly framed the
change as 'Standalone surface renamed to Machines' which references
an internal name no public release ever exposed.

Reframe in the shipped v6 docs and the rc.6 packet drafts as
'Hosts page renamed to Machines'. Top-level page listings updated
to use Machines (not Standalone). Keyboard shortcut listing
updated to 'g s Machines' (not Standalone). 'Standalone-to-Machines
surface evolution' rewritten as 'Hosts-to-Machines rename'.

- docs/releases/V6_RC6_OPERATOR_SUPPORT_PACK_DRAFT.md

The internal route path /standalone is unchanged because that is a
code-level identifier, not a user-facing label.
