Fixes #2241
In order to make the documentation more helpful, we should provide users with examples of near-Clifford circuit simulators that are necessary when using CDR at scale. In particular, this should happen in the CDR guide.
This PR includes the changes that takes the documentation from:
To use CDR at scale, an efficient near-Clifford circuit simulator must be specified. In this example, the circuit is small enough to use any classical simulator, and we use the same density matrix simulator as above but without noise.
To the new version:
To use CDR at scale, an efficient near-Clifford circuit simulator must be specified. Two examples of efficient near-Clifford circuit simulators are Qrack with the stabilizer hybrid (Clifford+Rz) and IBM's extended stabilizer simulator.
In this example, the circuit is small enough to use any classical simulator, and we use the same density matrix simulator as above but without noise.
