docs(derived): mark the page as draft so it can merge before the release

Browse Source 
A warning banner on both pages, and '(draft)' in the navigation title, so a
reader is not surprised when the feature is not in their installed version.
Remove both when the release carrying derived variables goes out.

mkdocs build passes; the banner and all four images render.

This page describes a feature that is in development. It is published early so
the wording and the screenshots can be reviewed; the behaviour described here
ships in the next release.
A derived variable is a column that does not exist in the target table, but is computed when the table is loaded into the [EDIT screen](/dc-userguide/#editor). It is read-only, it appears after the physical columns, and it can be filtered on like any other column.
Derived variables are useful when users need to work with a value that is a function of the stored data - a banding, a concatenation, a calculation - without changing the table, the load process, or the ETL.

!!! warning "Draft - not in a release yet"
This page describes a feature that is in development. It is published early so
the wording and the screenshots can be reviewed; the behaviour described here
ships in the next release.
The MPE_DERIVED table is used to configure derived (computed) variables - columns that are created when a table is loaded into the EDIT screen, so that they can be displayed and filtered on without being stored. More details are available in the [user guide](/derived-variables/)
The table is itself registered in [MPE_TABLES](/tables/mpe_tables/), so it is maintained through the EDIT screen with the usual review and approve workflow.
