docs: explain how branches, checkpoints and builds affect storage - #1307

Conversation
The version control overview said branches can't be deleted, which contradicted the Branches page, and its storage section only listed deletion as a way to reduce usage. Explain that every open branch counts its own copy of the assets, that closing a branch removes that copy from usage (and reopening restores it), and that deleting a branch or doing a hard reset also frees checkpoint storage. Document how to reopen a closed branch, and that merged branches can only be closed. On the account page, separate project counts from storage, list which categories count towards the allowance, note that deleting a published build frees its size, and clarify that SuperSplat splats don't count. Includes the Japanese translation. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Deleting a branch that is still open removes its checkpoints but doesn't currently free its assets from storage usage. Recommend closing the branch first instead of promising that deletion frees both. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
