Brendan Clement 1b1a78871d docs: make the quickstart's core journey work on either connection
The quickstart called a refresh that raises on a deployment before it
showed the alternative, trained on columns only optional steps created,
and read its image from a path inside the documentation repository.

The core journey is now install, connect, create, add, search and
filter, and its code is tested unchanged against a local database and,
when connection variables are set, a deployment. Enterprise readers get
the settings they need before the connection code. Computed columns,
images and training are optional extensions that each start from the
core table: the computed column shows the embedded refresh beside the
deployment's job, and says that a deployment must enable computed
columns; the image step downloads the picture into ./data first and the
code reads it from there in every language; the training step derives
the features it trains on.
