Describe backup files by their new .bib extension

[koppor]

🤖 Low-risk documentation update: JabRef's automatic backups switch from the .bak to the .bib extension (JabRef/jabref#16675, refs JabRef/jabref#11454), so the autosave/backup pages now describe backup files by their location and new name, and note the old extension for older versions.

High-Level Assessment

The version-aware documentation approach is appropriate: it emphasizes current .bib behavior while retaining concise .bak guidance for pre-6.0 users. Updating the navigation title, section anchor, and recovery cross-link together avoids stale references without introducing unnecessary documentation branches.
