Description

We should add more information about ExecuteSqlCommand and GetDbConnection, including how to manage the open/close state (e.g. with context.Database.OpenConnection and context.Database.CloseConnection vs. connection.Open and connection.Close) and lifetime of the connection returned with the latter (see https://github.com/aspnet/EntityFrameworkCore/issues/11415).

Contributor guide

Research direction
The issue requests adding documentation for raw database access APIs like ExecuteSqlCommand and GetDbConnection. Review the existing docs in the repository for related content. Look at issue #11415 for context on connection lifetime. Update the appropriate doc files to include examples and guidance on managing connection open/close state and lifetime.
