docs: Update Actorization playbook with badge link and resources (#2624)
Link the Actor ideas (open-source libraries) and Actor status badge
pages from the actorization guide, and replace hard-coded stats with
evergreen wording so the page won't drift. Also retitle the permissions
page to "Actor permissions" while keeping its sidebar label as
"Permissions".
