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 URLs6442-v3-odbc-powerbi
