There is no "Requirement" issue type installed by Xray. In fact, Xray does not install any requirement-related issue types. If you had the opportunity to attend one of our webinars, particularly one similar to the Xray walkthrough, you will learn that with Xray, you are able to define which issue types Xray should consider as requirements so you can cover them with Tests. Besides the standard "Story" and "Epic" Jira issue types, Jira allows you to create your own issue types. You just need to configure Xray properly, as detailed here, to let Xray internally treat those issue types as being requirements.

I'm unable to see the "Test Coverage" panel in my issues. Why? 

You need to ensure that your issue type is configured to be handled as a Covered Issue Type (i.e., a testable entity) This can be done in Project Settings: Test Coverage.

You can do it easily within the Test Plan screen via the "Create Test Execution" button. You may also create a new Test Execution for some of the tests listed in the table below the Filters, if you select . Select one or more tests (you may use a filter to help you out) and then choose the action available in the button next to the bulk selection (e.g., "(xx) Selected").

Can I run a Test Execution multiple times?

...

Xray does not provide this feature out-of-the-box by itself. However, you may use a simple tool dedicated to taking screenshots (e.g., LightShot) and easily attach the screenshot to the evidences during the execution of the test.

...

A “Test Plan” seems like a group of Test Executions or a group of Tests.

A bit of both, in fact. A Test Plan contains a list of Tests. For calculating the status of each test, it takes into account test runs from Test Executions explicitly linked to the Test Plan, through the field “Test Plan”.

Do I have to use "Test Plans"?

You don’t have to, but you will find there are great advantages if you start using them.

Agile Integration

Can I add a Sub-Test Execution to multiple coverable issues (e.g., requirements)?

A sub-task can only have one parent issue, so it won’t be possible to have multiple requirement issues with the same Sub-Test Execution. However, you can add Tests from another Requirement issue to a Sub-Test Execution. You’ll be able to execute them, but you are going to have the same behavior as the Test Execution, while using Agile Boards. So, if you intend to track the executions in the Agile Board, we recommend that you have a Sub-Test Execution for each coverable issue.

Do I have to associate all Tests that are testing a coverable issue (e.g., requirement) with a Sub-Test Execution?

The Tests already linked with the coverable issue will be automatically added to the Sub-Test Execution. You can remove them if you want. If you add a new Test to the Requirement issue after creating the Sub-Test Execution, then you’ll need to add them manually.
