Jack Ye 734eb39dc3 docs: make every sidebar label a capitalized noun
Six groups were verbs -- Manage, Ingest, Train, Operate, Secure, Deploy -- and
now name the thing rather than the action. Four more were sentence case.

The page labels that were verb phrases follow: Add Computed Column becomes
Computed Columns, Refresh Column becomes Column Refresh, Configuring Storage
becomes Configuration, and Explain becomes Query Plans, which is also more
accurate now that the page covers analyze as well.

SQL statement pages take the keyword -- SELECT, DDL, DML, REFRESH, SHOW, EXPLAIN
-- because a statement name is a noun and lowercase Select and Show read as
instructions. Concept pages there keep noun phrases: Joins, Window Functions,
Subqueries, Operators.

Two duplicate labels are resolved on the way. Reranking sat in Semantic Search
labelled Overview despite being the only page on its subject, and the Enterprise
client page sat in SQL Reference labelled SQL next to the reference Overview; it
is Client Connection now.

Title case leaves prepositions and articles lowercase, so Needle in a Haystack
and Hybrid Search on BEIR are already correct and unchanged.
