New

Added a `documentation` prop to provide a documentation link for involved settings (temp until we have better first class support for more complex setting types)

- [643](https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/issues/643) Updated `minimallyValidated` computeds so that new users are intentionally funneled through the pipelines ELT setup UI (previously they could skip past required steps)
