Cross-link cloud and self-hosted quickstarts

[TechHutTV]

Summary

src/pages/get-started/index.mdx (cloud quickstart)

• Added a note after the intro clarifying this guide covers NetBird Cloud, with a link to the Self-Hosting Quickstart for users who want to run NetBird on their own infrastructure.

src/pages/selfhosted/selfhosted-quickstart.mdx (self-hosted quickstart)

• Removed the redundant note under the title. It repeated the "quickstart" and "5 min" info already in the H1, and the domain/VM prerequisite is covered in the Infrastructure requirements section right below.
• Added a short pitch for NetBird Cloud (linked to the cloud quickstart) for users who prefer not to manage infrastructure themselves.
• Added a right-aligned button row using the existing Button component:
  • Grey outline button "Cloud vs Self-Hosted" linking to the comparison page
  • Primary button "Try NetBird Cloud" linking to https://app.netbird.io

Why

Users landing on either quickstart had no clear path to the other deployment option. The self-hosted guide now surfaces the managed option prominently, and the cloud guide points self-hosters to the right place.

Poem

A rabbit hops through docs so clear,
Cloud and self-hosted paths appear.
Buttons guide each branching trail,
Quickstart links now never fail.
Onboarding blooms with care.
