Briefly document Vector<> variations

`Packed*Array` aliases seem universally preferred where available, so
a link to the list of types seems appropriate.

`LocalVector` is used sparingly, so mentioning the intent and rough
tradeoff involved seems right for an overview.

-For dynamic memory, use Vector<>.
+For dynamic memory, use Godot's ``Vector<>`` or one of its variations.
+Godot's ``Vector<>`` behaves much like an STL ``Vector<>``, but is simpler,
+thread safe, and uses Copy-On-Write semantics.
+It can be safely passed via public API.

+The ``Packed*Array`` :ref:`types <doc_gdscript_packed_arrays>` are aliases for
+specific ``Vector<*>`` types (e.g., ``PackedByteArray``, ``PackedInt32Array``)
+that are accessible via GDScript. Prefer using the ``Packed*Array`` aliases

+``LocalVector<>`` is a non-COW version, with less overhead. It is intended for
+internal use where the benefits of COW are not needed.
