feat(docs): Update quick start guide template

[inventarSarah]

DESCRIBE YOUR PR

Drafted an updated version for our quick start guides -> see the Ember guide.

@sfanahata I suggest we work on this until we have a version we're happy with and then get the SDK teams involved. If you want, you can pull this branch and add your own ideas.

Changes:

• moved onboarding options down to "Initialize SDK" and updated the description above it
  • I didn't change anything else about the options
• added 2 new h2 sections for Logs and Metrics
  • I didn't see any logging integrations for JS -> if there were, I'd have added them to this new Logs section
• removed Logs (and metrics) from the Verify section (verify if you've configured things correctly; logs+metrics are enabled by default; if users want to verify these, they can use the examples provided in the code snippets in the same guide)
• left logs and metrics in the expandables (Want to learn more; Need help locating data in Sentry)
• cleaned up next steps (only 3 left -- I think that's a good number):
  • removed product links (we already link to these pages in the feature expandable)
  • added a link to Agent Tracing
  • removed link to capture errors manually

Reminder: logs still need to be set via enable_logs for some SDKs (eg JavaScript's Electron)

IS YOUR CHANGE URGENT?

Select exactly one option. For deadlines, replace YYYY-MM-DD with the due date. You can update this information later by editing the PR description.

• Other deadline: YYYY-MM-DD
• No deadline: Not urgent, can wait up to 1 week+

SLA

• Teamwork makes the dream work, so please add a reviewer to your PRs.
• Please give the docs team up to 1 week to review your PR unless you've supplied a deadline.

Thanks in advance for your help!

PRE-MERGE CHECKLIST

LEGAL BOILERPLATE

Look, I get it. The entity doing business as "Sentry" was incorporated in the State of Delaware in 2015 as Functional Software, Inc. and is gonna need some rights from me in order to utilize my contributions in this here PR. So here's the deal: I retain all rights, title and interest in and to my contributions, and by keeping this boilerplate intact I confirm that Sentry can use, modify, copy, and redistribute my contributions, under Sentry's choice of terms.

I think this works with some minor suggested changes. I'll leave the final decision in @sfanahata 's hands.

Suggested change

	Initializing the Sentry SDK enables core features such as Error Monitoring, Logs, and Application Metrics by default. While Sentry automatically reports errors, you'll need to send logs and metrics manually, as you'll learn further down.

It's not the worst experience, but something still feels off about having the error monitoring button greyed out, while excluding logs and app metrics from this list. I wonder if we get rid of the error monitoring button since we share that "
Initializing the Sentry SDK enables core features such as Error Monitoring, Logs, and Application Metrics by default." at the top of the section?
