Add a troubleshooting section on capturing gateway traffic into pcapng files with the dataplane CLI, since tcpdump can't see it with the dpdk driver. Also fix the stale pod listing in the health checks.

🟡 Changes recommended

The troubleshooting guidance incorrectly rules out host packet capture for kernel-driver deployments and recommends capinfos for per-packet metadata that requires tshark’s frame.comment field.

We shouldn't leave the user hanging on the empty capture question. Hopefully capinfos can tell them if they have an empty capture then they can know to use the other gateway, or more realistically the AI will do it
