Description

Update `top_earlgrey/doc/_index.md` with relevant top level information. Such as

- [ ] how alert escalation is handled
- [ ] how sram execution is handled (mention main vs retention SRAM differences #8969)
- [ ] what modules are connected for wakeup / reset request
- [ ] how life cycle relates to strap and how that is hooked up at the top level
- [x] updated memory map
- [ ] what modules are always on
- [ ] integrity scheme
- [ ] clock relationships #6798

This list goes on and i'm sure there are more. Please add to this list if you think of more.
Effectively this will be like documenting and explaining `top_earlgrey.hjson`

Research direction

Start with top_earlgrey/doc/_index.md and compare it with top_earlgrey.hjson to identify missing top-level explanations. Work through the checklist, including alert escalation, SRAM execution, wakeup/reset modules, lifecycle and straps, always-on modules, integrity, and clock relationships. Done means the relevant top-level information is documented and the checklist reflects the remaining gaps.
