Description
Flux 0.181 includes support for polyline simplification (specifically the Ramer Douglas Peucker (RDP) algorithm) for downsampling data.
The `polyline.rdp()` function is currently only available in Cloud, so this should just be added to Flux and InfluxDB Cloud docs for now. We can port it to v2.5 when it's released.

Research direction
Start by reading the existing Flux polyline.rdp() reference and the InfluxDB Cloud downsampling page linked in the issue. Add procedural documentation for polyline simplification to the Flux and InfluxDB Cloud documentation, and consider the work complete when both current locations explain the RDP-based downsampling workflow; v2.5 is explicitly deferred.
