Improved Get Started/Sign In Flow

Warren Gifford requested to merge brett/get-started-flow into main

Created by: bretthayes

What should this PR do?

  • Closes #5143 (closed)
  • Closes #5118 (closed)
  • Moves Getting Started pages to their own directory with collocated files (index, self-hosted, cloud, and a scss module for better scoped styles)
  • Removes all unnecessary bem scoped/conflicting/overwritten global styles for these pages in lieu of doing everything possible in bootstrap. Note: A future improvement would be to change the global font-size/typography of the entire site so we don't make bespoke style overwrites and eject too far from bootstrap.
  • Updates Footer, Header, and Content to be aligned with max width constraint via bootstrap. Removed hard coded header container constraint. Note: for a future improvement, we could expand our max width constraints and add another larger breakpoint.
  • Improves our Footer to be a sticky footer so now pages that don't have enough content to span the viewport vertically (like the getting started/sign in flow) will still look good ✨
  • Flips the login UI on /get-started/cloud when coming from /search with utm_medium=inproduct params. Test it here.

Other bits and bobs

  • Updates project readme's
  • Adds aliases for convenient imports
  • Fixes TS bug in Layout
  • Renamed GetStarted to SelfHostedSection so it's not confused with our getting started/sign in flow self hosted page. Also removed unnecessary styles there.
  • Updates/cleans up package.json
  • Adds gradient mixins for use within css/sass modules
  • Removes old footer background that wasn't being used
  • Adds text-decoration-underline utility class because Bootstrap has limitations and a lack of helpful utility classes to do hover states and things alike 🙃
  • Solves some tech debt: consolidates our self-hosted install script into a single component with backwards compatibility for the deprecated execCommand
