Reflects PR #56801 which added connection string parsers for MySQL and other database sources. The MySQL parser accepts mysql:// URLs and auto-populates host, port, database, user, password, and SSL fields.
Document that users can paste a postgres:// or postgresql:// connection string to auto-populate host, port, database, user, and password fields. This feature existed before but was not documented.

Changes
This PR documents the new connection string auto-populate feature for Data Warehouse database sources, introduced in PostHog/posthog#56801.
Users can now paste a connection string URL when configuring database sources, and the form fields will auto-populate. This was previously only documented for Postgres, but now applies to all released database sources.
