Significantly shorten Table Design section — remove verbose explanations,
keep only actionable guidance, and link to existing docs for details.
Also trim Example Templates descriptions and Performance Pitfalls to
one-liners with references.

This sidebar entry switches the doc ID from gettingStarted/must-read-before-poc to gettingStarted/before-you-start-the-poc, which changes the published URL and will 404 any existing inbound links/bookmarks to the old page. Since the repo already uses @docusaurus/plugin-client-redirects, please add a redirect (and ideally the zh-CN equivalent) from the old path to the new one, or keep the old slug/doc ID and only update the title/content to preserve the URL.
