Update the installation docs to recommend Vitest over Jest for Vue projects. Vitest is built on Vite, supports .vue files without additional transform configuration, and provides a faster testing experience with native ESM support. Jest instructions are kept as an alternative for webpack-based projects. Closes vuejs#2531
✅ Deploy Preview for vue-test-utils-docs ready!

Good idea! 👍
Would you mind updating the docs in other languages as well (your favorite LLM should be able to do the job, and we'll review)?
Apply the same Vitest promotion changes to the fr and zh translations, matching the structure of the English installation page. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Done - updated both the French and Chinese installation pages to match the English version (Vitest recommended section + Jest as alternative). |

Summary
Updates the installation docs to recommend Vitest over Jest for Vue projects.

docs/installation/index.md:Why Vitest
Vue CLI and create-vue both use Vite. Vitest works with Vite out of the box with no transform configuration needed for
.vuefiles. The current docs recommend Jest as "the easiest way" which hasn't been accurate since the Vue ecosystem moved to Vite.Closes #2531
