Suggestions for getting started guide

[anupama-pathirage]

Current Limitation

1. Page loading time is very low with the gifs. Sometimes, when switching tabs, it takes ~8 seconds to load the page or the same time to load the gifs when scrolling. The page is getting frozen frequently as well. So, consider removing some unnecessary gifs from obvious steps or shortening them.

2. Find the source code in the downloads tab is a bit misleading as it implies we need to build from the source

3. Run on Docker steps are missing in GH Release Note (E.g. APIM Release note has it)

4. Wrong link in in https://mi.docs.wso2.com/en/latest/get-started/quick-start-guide/#prerequisites
It should point to https://mi.docs.wso2.com/en/latest/develop/mi-for-vscode/install-wso2-mi-for-vscode/

5. Make the external links open in a new tab

6. Have clean screenshots and gifs without having too much clutter in recent projects and file systems.

e.g. in Step 1 and same issue there is in Step 4 Gif as well

7. Wrong context field value in Step 2

Current Value : hello
Correct value: \hello

8. Step 4, 1st and 2nd points should be re-written.

Suggestion :

Open the VS Code Command Palette by selecting View > Command Palette from the menu, or by using the shortcut Command+Shift+P on macOS or Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows.
