Expert scraping course depends on archived legacy course #2547

Description

@artogahr

The expert scraping course (starting at actors-webhooks) links to the old Web scraping basics for JavaScript devs course to get the Amazon scraper project. Anyone who went through the current scraping basics course ends up being sent back to the old archived docs, which is confusing and wrong.

Several lessons reference the same Amazon scraper - saving stats, migrations, proxies, and the API lessons all build on top of it.

A workaround is being put in place in #2536 - the first lesson now points students to a standalone starter repo at https://github.com/apify-projects/academy-amazon-scraper so they don't need to have completed either version of the scraping basics course first.

Long term, the expert course should probably be rewritten so the examples don't depend on the old Amazon scraper at all.
