docs: remove DynamoDB commit store section (#2715)

This PR removes the section about needing the DynamoDB Commit Store.
Reasoning:

* S3 now supports [conditional
writes](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/conditional-writes.html)
* Upstream lance was updated to use this capability in
https://github.com/lancedb/lance/issues/2793
* lanceDB itself was updated to include this (see @wjones127's comment
[here](https://github.com/lancedb/lancedb/issues/1614#issuecomment-2725687260))

#### DynamoDB Commit Store for concurrent writes
By default, S3 does not support concurrent writes. Having two or more processes
writing to the same table at the same time can lead to data corruption. This is
because S3, unlike other object stores, does not have any atomic put or copy
operation.
To enable concurrent writes, you can configure LanceDB to use a DynamoDB table
as a commit store. This table will be used to coordinate writes between
different processes. To enable this feature, you must modify your connection
URI to use the `s3+ddb` scheme and add a query parameter `ddbTableName` with the
name of the table to use.

=== "Sync API"
```python
import lancedb
db = lancedb.connect(
"s3+ddb://bucket/path?ddbTableName=my-dynamodb-table",
)
```
=== "Async API"
```python
import lancedb
async_db = await lancedb.connect_async(
"s3+ddb://bucket/path?ddbTableName=my-dynamodb-table",
)
```
=== "JavaScript"
```javascript
const lancedb = require("lancedb");
const db = await lancedb.connect(
"s3+ddb://bucket/path?ddbTableName=my-dynamodb-table",
);
```
The DynamoDB table must be created with the following schema:
- Hash key: `base_uri` (string)
- Range key: `version` (number)
You can create this programmatically with:
