Link to the page on docs.getdbt.com requiring updates

What part(s) of the page would you like to see updated?

As described here, dbt has two types of dependencies:

1. Package dependencies
2. Project dependencies

Here's what each of them look like:

# Packages

packages:
  - package: dbt-labs/dbt_utils
    version: 1.1.1

# Projects

projects:
  - name: jaffle_finance  # case sensitive and matches the 'name' in the 'dbt_project.yml'

👉 The problem that would be great to solve:

• There is a stand-alone section describing "How do I specify a package?", but there does not exist a stand-alone section describing "How do I specify a project dependency?".

I think we should do the following:

1. Add that stand-alone section somewhere (probably within this page)
2. Link "Package" dependencies here to that section
3. Link "Project" dependencies here to this section

That way, the links show exactly how to specify each type of dependency in a stand-alone fashion. Then a user can see how to specify them either in separate files (packages.yml and dependencies.yml) or the same file (dependencies.yml).
