Update documentation to discourage/deprecate use of base `core__observation` table for basic use cases #214

This is our largest table by an order of magnitude, and so is the one most likely to have performance bottlenecking.

When there is an appropriate profile available, we should use one of the smaller observation tables (vital signs/labs). When there isn't one available, like in #77, we should consider making a new subtable before, or in parallel, with starting research related to this profile.
