Description

Adds a third-party integration guide for Metabase (open-source BI platform) as requested in #59.

Metabase connects to QuestDB via its built-in PostgreSQL driver over the PostgreSQL wire protocol (port 8812) — no extra plugins needed.

Changes

  • New page: documentation/integrations/visualization/metabase.md
    • Docker setup for QuestDB and Metabase
    • Adding QuestDB as a PostgreSQL data source in Metabase (host/port/credentials)
    • Building a first question and dashboard, with a SAMPLE BY tip for time-series downsampling
  • Registered integrations/visualization/metabase in documentation/sidebars.js under Visualization

Follows the existing pattern used by the Grafana/Superset guides.

Closes #59

Once Metabase has started (this can take a minute on first run), open it at
`http://localhost:3000` and complete the initial setup wizard to create your
admin account.
