Jack Ye 52684d50b9 docs: flip ownership of View/SQL-client/FTS-SQL/AuthZ/AuthN to OSS, restructure SQL Reference
OSS docs now own the full usage content for features that only run against
an Enterprise deployment, since the client interface itself lives here;
Enterprise docs keep only the parts specific to its own behavior. Sophon's
overlay for these five pages is dropped since the OSS versions are now the
complete reference.

SQL Reference is restructured to match an object-type SQL manual (DDL by
object, then DML, then DQL, then Expressions) instead of the old flat,
loosely-ordered page list, absorbing the SQL client-connection guide and
FTS-via-SQL examples into it.

```sql
COPY (SELECT id, title FROM documents) TO 's3://bucket/export/' STORED AS PARQUET
```
Writes a query result to object storage. This is the export path when the
consumer is another engine rather than an application -- results land as files
rather than streaming to a client.
