Jack YeandClaude Sonnet 5 5e38120bdc docs: add storage integration SDK examples, abstract RTE write, simplify cache pages (#4865)
## Summary

- **Define Storage Integration**: un-gates the Python (and Rust, for S3)
`create_storage_integration` examples, drafted against #4618 and held
back until it shipped -- it's now in v0.42.0-beta.0+, and the signature
matches the drafts exactly.
- **Naming rules**: drops the `Branch` row and its "Learn more" link,
consistent with de-emphasizing branches elsewhere in this nav.
- **Distributed RTE Write**: removes the REST path, the
`__lance_mem_wal` index name, and "WAL node" terminology in favor of an
abstract framing -- a query node routes writes to RTE nodes, each of
which can host shards from many different tables. Both diagram variants
are updated to match.
- **Data Page Cache / Tiered Index Cache / Cache Prewarm**: drop
Helm-specific and exact-percentage detail (disk-budget math,
`startup_prewarm_block_query_ready`/`healthPort`/failure-policy table)
in favor of a short feature → architecture → why-it-matters shape, each
closing with a contact-sales pointer. Data Page Cache's on-demand
prewarm section is removed outright.

## Note

I wasn't able to get a clean visual render of the updated Distributed
RTE Write diagram in local preview -- Mermaid isn't rendering in
headless Chrome in this environment for *any* page right now, confirmed
against an unmodified reference page showing the identical symptom. The
diagram source follows the exact pattern already shipped and working in
the 21 diagrams from the earlier brand-theming pass, and `mint
validate`/`mint broken-links` both pass clean.
