This is ACID transactions section is pretyt much claude vibing out explanations because I coudln't find a single great source to link to. But fairly confident it did a good job, but someone who understands this better than me should hopefully check

I moved the old overview page into the new "concepts" page and re-wrote the overview to focus on three concrete improvements on top of zarr.
