Refactor the Dependency Scanning docs

Notably:

- Merge the use cases with the opening paragraph of DS
- Add link to the auto-remediation section in the main index page
- Add auto remediation to the title of solutions for better SEO
- Move the JSON reports section below the other more important sections
- Remove Container Scanning from the list of supported scanners in
  solutions
- Fix some "introduced in" sentences so that they can be properly parsed
