feat(v3): update Power BI and ODBC docs to use direct download URLs from docs.influxdata.com 

- Add direct download URLs for Arrow Flight SQL ODBC driver and Power BI connector
- Remove references to non-existent downloads page
- Update PowerShell commands to download from docs.influxdata.com/downloads/
- Remove ODBC driver and connector from prerequisites (covered in installation steps)
- Keep Dremio documentation reference for additional driver information
- Maintain Move-Item for connector installation (cleaner than Copy-Item)
- Update link checker config to allow docs.influxdata.com/downloads URLs
