This pull request enhances the Javelin Red Team scanning capabilities by introducing a new objective field.

• Comprehensive Guide on Writing Objectives: Added a new, detailed guide titled 'Writing Effective Objectives' which outlines best practices, examples, and the purpose of the objective field to maximize the effectiveness of red team assessments.
• Documentation Updates: Updated existing documentation (configuration.md and getting-started.md) to reflect the new objective field and linked to the newly created guide, ensuring all relevant information is easily accessible.
