Subject: [PATCH] docs: correct create_engine description in
 create-db-and-table

SQLModel re-exports SQLAlchemy's create_engine directly (sqlmodel.create_engine
is sqlalchemy.create_engine), it does not define its own wrapper. The previous
text described an obsolete future=True default and SQLAlchemy 1.4/2.0 framing
that no longer applies now that SQLModel requires SQLAlchemy 2.0.

+**SQLModel** re-exports SQLAlchemy's `create_engine()` directly, so `sqlmodel.create_engine` is the same function as `sqlalchemy.create_engine`. SQLModel requires SQLAlchemy 2.0 or above, which uses the modern 2.0 style by default.
