docs(formula): trim the FAQ to three entries
Drops three FAQs that were filler: - "Does the formula run on my warehouse?" (answer was obvious) - "Can I mix aggregates and scalar expressions?" (niche; the function reference already implies yes) - "How do I reference a field with unusual characters?" (edge case already covered by the "use SQL" escape-hatch in the intro) Also simplifies the "I found a bug" FAQ to the standard Slack + GitHub pattern used in contact/contact-info.mdx, rather than a bespoke copy.

<Accordion title="Does the formula run on my warehouse?">
215-
Yes. Lightdash compiles your formula to SQL using the right syntax
216-
for your warehouse and runs it alongside the rest of your query.
217-
There's no separate formula engine or extra round-trip. The generated
218-
SQL is part of the same query as your metrics and dimensions.

<Accordion title="Can I mix aggregates and scalar expressions in the same formula?">
222-
Yes. When you use `SUM`, `AVG`, `COUNT`, etc. in a formula, we
223-
compile them to the correct aggregate SQL for your warehouse
224-
(including the window semantics expected in a table calculation).
225-
Mixing aggregates and scalar expressions is supported.

<Accordion title="How do I reference a field with unusual characters in the name?">
229-
Use the exact column name shown in the results table header. If your
230-
field contains characters that aren't valid in a formula identifier,
231-
use the SQL editor for that specific calculation.
