Update Get Started docs to Microsoft Style Guide and new installer flow

[Sachindu-Nethmin]

Purpose

The "Get Started" documentation needed to be updated to align with the Microsoft Style Guide (using sentence case for headings, removing unnecessary bolding). Additionally, WSO2 Integrator is now distributed as a standalone application rather than a VS Code extension, requiring updates to the installation and project creation instructions.

Goals

• Standardize the documentation headings and formatting according to the Microsoft Style Guide.
• Guide users accurately through the new standalone WSO2 Integrator installer workflow, replacing outdated VS Code extension instructions.

Approach

• Modified markdown files in en/docs/get-started/ (key-concepts.md, system-requirements.md, install.md, understand-the-ide.md, first-project.md, install-ballerina.md).
• Converted all markdown headings ( ##, ###) and frontmatter titles to sentence case.
• Removed bold styling (**) from non-UI elements such as operating system names, generic hardware terms, and inline software prerequisites.
• Rewrote install.md to instruct users to download the standalone installer directly from the WSO2 website via business email.
• Revised first-project.md and understand-the-ide.md to remove VS Code Command Palette steps, replacing them with instructions for the standalone WSO2 Integrator IDE application.
• Adjusted install-ballerina.md to remove automatic VS Code setup details and focus purely on standalone Ballerina installations.

Release note

Updated the "Get Started" documentation to align with the Microsoft Style Guide formatting and to reflect the new standalone application installer experience for WSO2 Integrator.
