get those "where-as-arguments" out of the SQL tutorial

Issue #2679 resolved
Mike Bayer repo owner created an issue

We shouldn't have a whole "intro to generative" section, the select() construct should be using where() universally. The word "generative" is also something we should start calling "method chained", at least partially.

    additionally:

    the class doc for Select() starts out with all those append_XYZ() methods (ugh!). These should definitely all say "in-place" and should all refer to the method-chained version as preferred.

    put more realistic examples for the "correlated subqueries" section and add more documentation here as to how correlation works

    take out "Transforming a statement". I know this is here because we were trying to justify this whole system years ago...its justified. nobody needs this feature (except of course when they use it constantly via the ORM, but that's our little secret).
