Code Review

This pull request adds documentation for the new 'My TiDB' page, including a new documentation file and updates to the glossary. The changes are a good start. I've provided several suggestions to improve consistency, grammar, and adherence to the documentation style guide, focusing on heading structure, use of terminology, and writing style. All suggestions are minor and aim to enhance the clarity and professionalism of the documentation.

Note: Security Review has been skipped due to the limited scope of the PR.

- TiDB X project: this is the default project type when you create a project on the [My TiDB](/tidb-cloud/my-tidb.md) page. In this type of project, you can only add {{{ .starter }}}, {{{ .essential }}}, and {{{ .premium }}} instances.
- TiDB Dedicated project: this project type is used only for {{{ .dedicated }}} clusters. In this type of project, you can only add {{{ .dedicated }}} clusters. Within your organization, settings and access controls such as networks, maintenance, alert subscriptions, and encryption access can be managed separately by project, and configurations in different projects do not affect each other.
- TiDB virtual project: this is a virtual project. It is not displayed in the [TiDB Cloud console](https://tidbcloud.com/) and does not provide any management capabilities. Its acts a virtual container for {{{ .starter }}}, {{{ .essential }}}, and {{{ .premium }}} instances that do not belong to any project, so that these instances can be accessed through the TiDB Cloud API by using a project ID. Each organization has a unique virtual project ID.
