docs: updates to use DML and other changes (#7834)

- Change existing data model guides and add new ones for DML
- Change module's docs around service factory + remove guides that are now necessary
- Hide/remove all mentions of module relationships, or label them as coming soon.
- Change all data model creation snippets to use DML
- use `property` instead of `field` when referring to a data model's properties.
- Fix all snippets in commerce module guides to use new method suffix (no more main model methods)
- Rework recipes, removing/hiding a lot of sections as a lot of recipes are incomplete with the current state of DML.


### Other changes

- Highlight fixes in some guides
- Remove feature flags guide
- Fix code block styles when there are no line numbers.

### Upcoming changes in other PRs

- Re-generate commerce module references (for the updates in the method names)
- Ensure that the data model references are generated correctly for models using DML.
- (probably at a very later point) revisit recipes

In this document, you'll learn how to create soft-deletable data models.
In this chapter, youll learn about soft-deletable data models.
## What is a Soft-Deletable Model?
## What is a Soft-Deletable Data Model?
A soft-deletable data model is a model whose records aren't actually removed from the database when they're deleted.
A soft-deletable data model is a model that has a `deleted_at` `dateTime` property.
Instead, their `deleted_at` field is set to the date the record was deleted.
When retrieving or listing records of that data model, records having their `deleted_at` field set aren't retrieved unless the `withDeleted` filter is provided.
When a record of the data model is deleted, this field is set to the current date, marking it as deleted.

## How to Create a Soft-Deletable Model?
## Configure Data Model Soft-Deletion
To create a soft-deletable model, first, add the following filter decorator to the data model class:
```ts title="src/module/hello/models/my-soft-deletable.ts" highlights={[["7"]]} collapsibleLines="1-7" expandButtonLabel="Show Imports"
// other imports...
import { Entity, Filter } from "@mikro-orm/core"
import { DALUtils } from "@medusajs/utils"
import { BaseEntity } from "@medusajs/utils"
@Entity()
@Filter(DALUtils.mikroOrmSoftDeletableFilterOptions)
class MySoftDeletable extends BaseEntity {
// ...
}
export default MySoftDeletable
```
Then, add a `deleted_at` field to the data model:
```ts highlights={[["7"], ["8"]]}
// other imports...
import { Property } from "@mikro-orm/core"
class MySoftDeletable extends BaseEntity {
// ...
@Property({ columnType: "timestamptz", nullable: true })
deleted_at: Date | null = null
}
```

## Manage Soft-Deletable Models
Services extending the service factory have methods to soft delete and restore records for all models specified during its creation.
### Soft Delete a Record
For example, to soft delete a `MySoftDeletable` record:
```ts
await helloModuleService.softDelete([
"id_123", "id_321",
])
```
The method receives an array of IDs of records to delete.
### Retrieve Soft-Deleted Records
The `retrieve`, `list`, and `listAndCount` methods accept as a second parameter a configuration object.
To retrieve soft-deleted records, set `withDeleted` to `true` in the configuration object passed as a second parameter.
For example:
```ts
const deletedRecords = await helloModuleService
.listMySoftDeletables({
// ...
}, {
withDeleted: true,
})
```
### Restore a Soft-Deleted Record
To restore a `MySoftDeletable` record:
```ts
await helloModuleService.restore([
"id_123", "id_321",
])
```
The method also receives an array of IDs of records to restore.
If the data model isn't the main data model, its method names are `softDelete` and `restore` suffixed with the plural name of the model. For example, `softDeleteMySoftDeletable`.
By default, all data models have a `deleted_at` property and are considered soft-deletable.
