This PR updates the docs, specifically the quickstart guide and sail-the-ship assignment, to reflect the changes made in with the new 'problems' module (#269).

Note, the framing in the sail-the-ship assignment (i.e. specifically the education context) explains that the user will encounter 'problems' and these are an authentic part of the expedition. Whereas, in the quickstart (for a more general audience), the 'problems' are presented as configurable and can be turned off if needed.


Closes #275
