docs(ref): Index differences between virtual / real manifests
For a user to read the reference and to understand when each type of workspace might be right for them, they have to know to also read the section on Package Selection. This reframes the section on needing to set `resolver = "2"` to being about differences when there isn't a root package and extends it to summarize a part of Package Selection, linking out to it. The hope is that this will make it all of the differences more discoverable without retreading too much of the same ground within Reference-style documentation. Part of #13580

Note that in a virtual manifest the [`resolver = "2"`](resolver.md#resolver-versions)
|
||||
should be specified manually. It is usually deduced from the [`package.edition`][package-edition]
|
||||
field which is absent in virtual manifests and the edition field of a member
|
||||
won't affect the resolver used by the workspace.
|
||||
By having a workspace without a root package,
|
||||
|
||||
- [`resolver`](resolver.md#resolver-versions) must be
|
||||
set explicitly in virtual workspaces as they have no
|
||||
[`package.edition`][package-edition] to infer it from
|
||||
[resolver version](resolver.md#resolver-versions).
|
||||
- Commands run in the workspace root will run against all workspace
|
||||
members by default, see [`default-members`](#the-default-members-field).
