Description

The content in tutorials/getting_started and introduction/first_steps heavily overlaps. Perhaps merge the hands-on PromQL walkthrough from first_steps into the existing tutorial. Delete first_steps. Add redirect.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the content of tutorials/getting started and introduction/first steps, identify the overlapping PromQL walkthrough sections, and plan how to merge them while preserving useful information. Also, check how redirects are implemented in the docs site so you can add a redirect from first steps to getting started. Finally, consider whether any links to first steps need updating.
