Reduce number of options in our Getting Started page (evaluate) #570

Today, when I visit our homepage, almost all items I'm interested in are in the Getting Started Tab. These include:

I suspect 80% of people who are visiting our webpage will be interested in one of these five items. However, I think we provide too many options in one tab.

Can we break out the Getting Started tab into two tabs and reduce the number of options in each tab?

Maybe one tab is about installing and running our tutorials. Another tab is about explaining Citus, concepts and different use cases it's applicable for.

@begriffs helped me in answering a question about site analytics today.

When you visit the docs homepage, you see six buttons (Getting Started, Use Cases, etc.). We looked at users who visited the homepage and clicked on one of these buttons over 665 sessions. The split was like the following.

I think this split makes sense. When I use our documentation, I almost always need what I need in the Getting Started section. What are your thoughts on splitting the Getting Started button into two buttons and maybe phasing out the Support button?
