Change products.core to lowercase "self-hosted" #19083

Formerly, this variable was capitalized as "Self-Hosted" which could be confusing since it implied the term was a proper noun. However, it is not. There is no such Product Name (tm), it's just an adjective referring to the deployment model.

@jaiayu tagging you FYI, no need to review this two character change :-)

@taroface thanks for the docs team discussion that prompted this - @jaiayu and I discussed with Product Marketing in DMs, and Ayushi decided let's just go with lowercase for now and reassess, and PMM was ok with that

This is the change we discussed. Also as discussed, though, it may lead to some unintentional or awkward wordings, like here:

The CockroachDB self-hosted integration with Datadog enables data collection and alerting...

The way this is phrased, it reads more as though the integration (not CockroachDB) is self-hosted. I'm wondering if there is a way to mitigate some of these instances. It appears that there are just a handful of instances of The CockroachDB {{ site.data.products.core }} on each docs branch that could be misread this way. "The self-hosted integration", "The self-hosted Production Checklist".

Another thing is that we still have some occurrences of Self-Hosted because people (like me) forgot to use the product variable. We should find-replace those occurrences.

Formerly, this variable was capitalized as "Self-Hosted" which could be
confusing since it implied the term was a proper noun. However, it is
not. There is no such Product Name (tm), it's just an adjective
referring to the deployment model.

Good point, I have gone through and tried to edit all of these instances so they read a bit more naturally as "The integration of your CRDB self-hosted cluster with Datadog"

Another thing is that we still have some occurrences of Self-Hosted because people (like me) forgot to use the product variable. We should find-replace those occurrences.

I have find-replaced them in all cases except where they occur in the YAML front matter of the page (where variable substitution does not work), in which case I have edited them to say "self-hosted" (lowercase) so they do not appear to be Product Names (tm)

NB. i have applied all of these changes across v23.1, v23.2, v24.1, v24.2, v24.3. All changes are on the commit with the message Update with taroface feedback (1)

PTAL!

Clarifications are great -- only thing is that the page titles still need to be in title case, meaning Self-Hosted is still uppercase. I edited these as suggestions that you should be able to batch-apply from the reviewer pane. Let me know if it doesn't make sense.
