This is part of the Dataset GA doc fix effort to update/improve the documentation.
This PR revamps the Getting Started page.
What are the changes:
- Focus on basic/core features that are bread-and-butter for users, leave the advanced features out
- Focus on high level introduction, leave the detailed spec out (e.g. what are possible batch_types for map_batches() API)
- Use more realistic (yet still simple) data example that's familiar to people (IRIS dataset in this case)
- Use the same data example throughout to make it context-switch free
- Use runnable code rather than faked
- Reference to the code from doc, instead of inlining them in the doc

1. Dataset pipeline is advanced usage of Ray Dataset, which should not jam into the Getting Started page
2. We already have a separate/dedicated page called Pipelining Compute to cover the same content
Preview: [docs](https://ray--21931.org.readthedocs.build/en/21931/data/dataset.html)
The Ray Data project's docs now have a clearer structure and have partly been rewritten/modified. In particular we have
- [x] A Getting Started Guide
- [x] An explicit User / How-To Guide
- [x] A dedicated Key Concepts page
- [x] A consistent naming convention in `Ray Data` whenever is is referred to the project.
This surfaces quite clearly that, apart from the "Getting Started" sections, we really only have one real example. Once we have more, we can create an "Example" section like many other sub-projects have. This will be addressed in https://github.com/ray-project/ray/issues/21838.
