52e57e70fd Add wildcard documentation for like/ilike/containsIlike filters (#17825)
Add documentation for issue #16602 
After discussing with the team (Thomas),
https://discord.com/channels/1130383047699738754/1443986309436936212 we
decided that updating the documentation.
The issue is In compute-where-condition-parts.ts, the like/ilike cases
pass values directly to SQL without adding % wildcards for api using, so
they behave like exact matches.

This PR updates the documentation regarding the use of `like`, `ilike`
and `containsIlike` filters. Instead of auto-wrapping values with %
wildcards in the backend, we are choosing to leave the control to the
API users (%value% or value%).

/>

But I add wildcard for `startsWith` and `endsWith` because these
operators have a fixed semantic meaning.

Does the world need another CRM?

We built Twenty for three reasons:

CRMs are too expensive, and users are trapped. Companies use locked-in customer data to hike prices. It shouldn't be that way.

A fresh start is required to build a better experience. We can learn from past mistakes and craft a cohesive experience inspired by new UX patterns from tools like Notion, Airtable or Linear.

We believe in Open-source and community. Hundreds of developers are already building Twenty together. Once we have plugin capabilities, a whole ecosystem will grow around it.
