fix: Update Shoot creation guide in light of new Monitoring tab
When bringing Shoot details into view, we now have a new tab
offering two buttons for launching Prometheus or Plutono.
We update the prose and all screenshots, and add a whole new
section with information regarding cluster details and
launching monitoring dashboards.

For instance, click the *Details* tab to get networking information about the worker nodes.

Next, go to the *Monitoring* tab.

There, you will notice two orange buttons: one for launching [Prometheus](https://prometheus.io), and one for launching [Plutono](https://github.com/credativ/plutono).

As an example, we have clicked the button for Plutono.

Prior to launching the dashboard, a pop-up window appears.

This shows the default username (`admin`), and the masked generated password.
101
+
You get this pop-up every time you click on either of the orange buttons.

In any case, to copy the password into the clipboard, click the related button shown below.

After typing in the default username and pasting the password, you get access to the Prometheus or Plutono dashboard for your shoot cluster.
