Start/Index: Refactor "Going further" to "Learn more" on index page

[amotl]

About

"Going further" should perhaps just be moved into "First Steps" as it's basically an overview of the remaining TOC + some. Having it in the end seems very odd as that's after half the references in there.

Walkthrough

Edits restructure the start documentation (replace card layout with sd-table rows, add a "Learn more" section, update toctree), remove the standalone "Going further" page, and update the performance index heading and add two new performance cards.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Performance index updates docs/performance/index.md	Heading case changed to "Performance guides"; adds two grid-item cards: "Allocation and Capacity" (sharding, scaling, storage guidance) and "Performance Handbook" (inserts/selects/optimization, latency/resource notes).
Start index restructuring docs/start/index.md	Replaces grid-item cards with sd-table/sd-row/sd-item structure; adds a "Learn more" / start-going-further block; enumerates topics (Data modelling, Query capabilities, Drivers, Integrations, Reference manual, Sample applications, Database management, performance); updates toctree (adds application/index, keeps modelling/index, query/index, Ingesting data); minor label/whitespace tweaks.
Removal of 'Going further' page docs/start/going-further.md	Deleted the "Going further" documentation page and its content.

Poem

Thump-thump through the docs I hop with cheer,
Cards rearranged and tidy rows appear.
The burrow page has softly gone away,
New performance carrots brighten the day.
I nibble links and bounce—docs ready to play. 🥕🐇

3-39: Looks good – refreshed cards fit the grid nicely.

The reworded heading and added cards read well, and the toctree groupings keep the index concise. Nicely done.

Thanks for picking up that comment!
There are quite a few things I would like to change here, so let me get back on that.

[amotl]

I also would like to change a lot of things everywhere. This patch was just meant to quickly relocate the content so others can further curate it at their disposal. Maybe your ideas fit well into a subsequent patch?

[bmunkholm]

I actually appreciate the speedyness! But I would keep current state than merging this as is. I have more concrete feedback, please allow me to get time for that.

[amotl]

It is really just a refactoring patch that barely changes any content. Maybe other feedback beyond that would be better suited as a dedicated ticket? You can easily add your feedback any time to improve particular pages per "Suggest improvement" workflow.
