Jack Ye 414b79ed57 docs: name the tab Tutorials, matching the path its pages live at
Every page in it is under /tutorials, so calling the tab Use Cases meant the
label and the URL disagreed. The overview page takes the same name.

Every tutorial is one page in the sidebar, grouped by what it builds. The
documentation explains how a feature works; these show it doing something.
Examples marked as notebooks live in the
[vectordb-recipes](https://github.com/lancedb/vectordb-recipes) repository and
are runnable in Colab; the rest are written up here.
