This pull request enhances the user experience for the TiDB documentation by introducing a structured categorization to the best practices Table of Contents. The change aims to improve the discoverability and logical grouping of various best practice guides, allowing users to more efficiently navigate and locate relevant information based on specific areas like schema design, deployment, or performance tuning.

Code Review

This pull request does a great job of reorganizing the best practices table of contents, making it much more structured and easier to navigate. The new categories are logical and help users find relevant documents quickly. I have a few minor suggestions to align the headings with the repository's style guide, which recommends using sentence case for headings.
