Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/start: simplify the content

Information in 'TL; DR' section of 'Getting Started' is duplicated in
other parts of the doc.  It is also asking readers to visit the access
pattern visualizations gallery web site to show the results of example
visualization commands, while the users of the commands can use terminal
output.

To make the doc simple, this removes the duplicated 'TL; DR' section and
replaces the visualization example commands with versions using terminal
outputs.

-Follow the commands below to monitor and visualize the memory access pattern of
-your workload. ::
-
-    # # build the kernel with CONFIG_DAMON_*=y, install it, and reboot
-    # mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug/
-    # git clone https://github.com/awslabs/damo
-    # ./damo/damo record $(pidof <your workload>)
-    # ./damo/damo report heats --heatmap stdout
-
-The final command draws the access heatmap of ``<your workload>``.  The heatmap
-shows which memory region (x-axis) is accessed when (y-axis) and how frequently
-(number; the higher the more accesses have been observed). ::

 Visualizing Recorded Patterns
 =============================
 
-The following three commands visualize the recorded access patterns and save
-the results as separate image files. ::
-
-    $ sudo damo report heats --heatmap access_pattern_heatmap.png
-    $ sudo damo report wss --range 0 101 1 --plot wss_dist.png
-    $ sudo damo report wss --range 0 101 1 --sortby time --plot wss_chron_change.png
-
-- ``access_pattern_heatmap.png`` will visualize the data access pattern in a
-  heatmap, showing which memory region (y-axis) got accessed when (x-axis)
-  and how frequently (color).
-- ``wss_dist.png`` will show the distribution of the working set size.
-- ``wss_chron_change.png`` will show how the working set size has
-  chronologically changed.
