Motivation

This PR is part of a broader documentation auditing process, which aims to offer a clean, systematic review of current documentation, suggest potential improvements, and start updating critical pages.

Suggested merge order:

Scope

Updates the table of contents, with the following aims:

  • Better organize content by priority (install -> getting started guides -> demos/notebooks -> advanced topics)
  • Add dropdowns to streamline and make the sidebar more practical
  • Unlist ("soft archival") of outdated files
    • This currently comprises:
      • installTips.md

Reorganize the book TOC (_toc.yml) into clearer sections (Getting started, Main workflows, GUI workflow, Notebooks & Demos, Advanced/Performance & Live, Additional guides, Project & Community). Add new index pages for GUI, notebooks (main_demos, your_data, extra), PyTorch, and recipes. Adjust headings in maDLC and standardDeepLabCut user guides to shorter titles. This clarifies navigation and groups related docs and examples under logical headings.
Update _toc.yml to add napari/basic_usage and napari/advanced_usage entries, adjust chapter/section ordering (relocating the beginner-guides block) and remove the redundant docs/gui/index entry.
Reorganize _toc.yml to add and move documentation entries: reintroduce napari_GUI section, add dlc-live GUI pages (quickstart, user guide, camera backends with individual backend pages, and misc/modelzoo pages), and relocate the ModelZoo entry into the 'Advanced, Performance & Live' section while removing duplicates. Also update docs/recipes/index.md heading from 'Additional guides' to 'The DeepLabCut Cookbook'.

Reorganize table of contents: relocate docs/dlc-live/deeplabcutlive from the Benchmark section into the ModelZoo sections (removing the duplicate entry) and comment out the docs/course entry to temporarily hide the course page. Only _toc.yml was modified.

Create docs/quick-start/index.md listing single- and multi-animal quick start guides, and add explicit file anchors to the single_animal_quick_guide.md and tutorial_maDLC.md files ((file:single-animal-quick-start) and (file:multi-animal-quick-start)). These changes centralize quick-start entry points and enable stable cross-references; also include minor whitespace/formatting cleanup.

@deruyter92 Should we keep the quick start guides listed for now ? What do you think ?
