Paul Gottschling d617ef9c26 Edit the Database Access introduction (#19105)
Closes #17092

The Database Access introduction lists the databases that Teleport
supports, but also includes a list of links to all of our Database
Access guides.

So we don't have to maintain two separate lists, I have removed the
first list of supported databases.

I have also edited the heading of the section that lists our
database-specific guides so it's clearer that they are about specific
databases.

title: Database Access
description: Teleport Database Access introduction, demo and resources.
---
Teleport can provide secure connections to your databases while improving both
access control and visibility.
Some of the things you can do with Database Access:
- Enable users to retrieve short-lived database certificates using a Single Sign-On
flow, thus maintaining their organization-wide identity.
- Configure role-based access controls for databases and implement custom
[Access Request](../access-controls/access-requests.mdx) workflows.
- Capture database activity in the Teleport audit log.
## Demo
Let's connect to a PostgreSQL server with `psql` and pgAdmin 4 after authenticating
with GitHub, execute a few SQL queries and observe them in the audit log:
