Docs: Add additional install methods to quickstart #7362

| Skip installing and start using the EdgeDB CLI right away! Just use ``npx | ||

I hate that we have this situation, but I wonder if we need to mention how to invoke it from other package managers or just assume everyone either is fine with using npx, or knows how to do the mental conversion to their own PM syntax (pnpm dlx, yarn dlx, etc).
Not a big deal, but thought it was worth mentioning.

I could address it here the way I did in the video: "… npx edgedb or your package manager's equivalent." That doesn't tell anyone how to do it with another package manager, but it at least tells them it can be done in case they weren't aware.

I've revised it to incorporate that for now, and we can do something more robust later if we want.
