   Summary of changes:
   
   - Update "topology patterns" docs as follows:
   
     - Move them as a sub-section under "Multi-Region Capabilities", since
       they are mostly relevant to multi-region usage
   
     - Deemphasize "topology" for these patterns, since these are not
       network topologies, they are mostly per-table configurable behaviors
   
     - Add "global tables" to replace the "duplicate indexes" page
   
     - Add "regional tables" to replace the "geo-partitioned XYZ" pages
   
     - Fix up ~all links in the docs to point to the new things
   
   - Update mentions of partitioning throughout the docs to note that most
     users should use the new v21.1+ multi-region capabilities instead of
     explicit partitioning
   
     - Also removed mention of partitioning from several places as part of
       deemphasing explicit partitioning generally, since most use cases
       are covered by multi-region abstractions
   
   - Update the 'Cost-Based Optimizer' page to remove the old skool
     "nearest index" partitioning stuff, since now we have GLOBAL tables
   
     - This required removing links to the above from all the "enterprise
       features" lists and replacing with links to the new 'Multi-Region
       Capabilities' page
   
   - Update `cockroach demo` to deemphasize partitioning and point to new
     multi-region things
   
   - Update disaster recovery pages to mention most users of new
     deployments should just use multi-region survival goals
   
   - Update various licensing docs to point to the new multi-region things
   
   - Update replication reports to mention the new multi-region things, in
     lieu of further updates
   
   - Renamed a bunch of links that used the phrase "geo-partitioning" to
     refer to the multi-region latency tutorial, which now goes by the name
     "Multi-Region Performance"
   
   - Updated 'ALTER TABLE ... SET LOCALITY REGIONAL BY ROW' to include info
     about locality optimized search
   
   - Note: we explicitly did *not* touch anything related to the
     multi-region Flask app, since that work is happening via #10394
