Description

While #4684 added https://dev-docs.binary.ninja/guide/troubleshooting.html#working-with-large-or-complex-binaries we need to flesh that out with either more details, a youtube video, maybe a blog post or some other workflow showing how we handled a specific binary. Additionally, we probably need to include more details about analysis hold, using new memory sections to limit analysis, etc.

Research direction

Start with the Working with Large or Complex Binaries section at dev-docs.binary.ninja/guide/troubleshooting.html#working-with-large-or-complex-binaries and review what #4684 already added. Document a concrete workflow for a specific binary, including analysis hold and using new memory sections to limit analysis; the expanded guide, video, or blog post should explain the workflow clearly.
