Context

The idea arose in a comment responding to #26091.

Research direction
Locate the topic 'How to invalidate directory list cache?' in presto docs/src/main/sphinx/connector/hive.rst and the existing 'Invalidate Directory List Cache' section. Remove the former and merge its content into the latter. Optionally, add a new entry in presto docs/src/main/sphinx/troubleshoot.rst linking to the combined section. Reference PRs #26091 and #26099 for context.
