Hi,

This patch adds a short introductory paragraph to the
Getting Started chapter in the documentation.

The paragraph provides a short overview of the topics covered
in the chapter and helps improve readability for new users.

Uh, this just duplcites the table of contents, which appears just above
the text:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/tutorial-start.html

I don't see the point in adding this text.

Thanks.
