Edge 0.7 documentation updates (#2391)

* docs(edge): add "Modify the Vector Schema" step to quickstart

Documents the new Edge 0.7 API for adding and removing named vector
fields on an existing shard without recreating it, with Python and
Rust snippets.

* docs(edge): mention quantization support in quickstart

Adds a note after the EdgeConfig snippet that Edge supports all four
quantization methods (Scalar, Product, Binary, TurboQuant), with a
link to the quantization guide.

When using Python, you can use the [FastEmbed](/documentation/fastembed/) library to generate embeddings for use with Qdrant Edge. FastEmbed provides multimodal models that run efficiently on edge devices to generate vector embeddings from text and images.

# Provision the Device
Assuming the devices on which you will run Qdrant Edge have intermittent or no internet connectivity, you need to provision them with the necessary dependencies and model files ahead of time. First, install FastEmbed and the Qdrant Edge Python bindings:
