Three new tutorial pages:
- Building a REST API: full CRUD with Pydantic validation, from scratch
- Using SQLAlchemy: async engine, lifespan setup, CRUD with ORM
- Migrating from Flask: concept mapping, quick reference table,
gradual migration via app mounting
Also rewritten:
- CLI docs: cleaner, more concise
- API reference: added prose descriptions for each section

Define your API schemas with Pydantic models instead of (or alongside)
YAML docstrings and marshmallow:
from pydantic import BaseModel
class PetIn(BaseModel):
name: str
age: int = 0
class PetOut(BaseModel):
id: int
name: str
age: int
@api.route("/pets", methods=["POST"],
request_model=PetIn, response_model=PetOut)
async def create_pet(req, resp):
data = await req.media()
resp.media = {"id": 1, **data}
Also works with @api.schema("Name") decorator for registering
standalone schema components.
Pydantic models, marshmallow schemas, and YAML docstrings can all
be used together in the same API.
Also: rewrite docs with more prose, restore sidebar logo and links,
add FastAPI acknowledgment, update homepage copy.

A few of the adjustments here have been required to mitigate Sphinx
warnings, which would converge to errors on CI, thus failing the build.
A few other changes, both wording and syntax/formatting fixes, are
coming from regular copyediting and documentation maintenance.
Basically linked things I had to google/look up on my own. There are a million things that _could_ be linked, but using myself as a median Python coder, it seems about right. Removed italics because I can't figure out how to use them with a link.
