docs: describe refresh and retries the same way on every page

Five pages still said a refresh never revisits a filled row and that a
changed input needs the column dropped and declared again. Since
lancedb#4161 a refresh also recomputes rows whose inputs changed, so the
quickstart, the feature-engineering overview, Guarantees, and the SQL
REFRESH and UPDATE pages now say that.

Retry claims are qualified the same way. A local refresh commits the column
once, and a deployment's job commits finished batches. A retry fills what is
still empty or stale, but can recompute values that were already written (a
refresh whose input record was not saved recomputes next time), so no page
promises that a retry costs only the unfinished rows.
