Improve CLI docs (#1404)
* Improve CLI docs

* Fixed all the typos (hopefully).
* Improved the bad English. This encompasses grammar, vocabulary, generally awkward phrases, etc. The result is easier to read and understand, and in some cases shorter.
* Made some formatting improvements. This includes making formatting more consistent, but I changed some of it to be better, at least in my opinion.
* Removed certain unnecessities, the biggest one being the commands documentation. I think this is unnecessary because of the `dx --help` command. It also needs to be updated every time a command gets added/updated/removed. It doesn't really provide much extra insight than `dx --help`.
* Improved plugin documentation. I added a warning to ignore all of it, which is ironic, but the fact is that plugins are probably going to change. But by the time I learned that, I already made some changes to the plugin docs. This includes a better guide on how to get started (although still bad since the plugin system is too messy), and some general changes like the aforementioned English or formatting.
* And more. I can't list it all, but I didn't use any destructive changes. The content might be reformatted (to be shorter or easier to understand), but the meaning isn't lost.

* Fix grammar in packages/cli/docs/src/creating.md

📦 Dioxus CLI

Tooling to supercharge Dioxus projects

The dioxus-cli (inspired by wasm-pack and webpack) is a tool for getting Dioxus projects up and running. It handles all building, bundling, development and publishing to simplify development.

Installation

cargo install dioxus-cli

Install the latest development build through git

To get the latest bug fixes and features, you can install the development version from git. However, this is not fully tested. That means you're probably going to have more bugs despite having the latest bug fixes.

cargo install --git https://github.com/DioxusLabs/dioxus dioxus-cli

This will download the CLI from the master branch, and install it in Cargo's global binary directory (~/.cargo/bin/ by default).

Install from local folder

cargo install --path . --debug

Get started

Use dx create project-name to initialize a new Dioxus project. It will be cloned from the dioxus-template repository.

Alternatively, you can specify the template path:

dx create hello --template gh:dioxuslabs/dioxus-template

Run dx --help for a list of all the available commands. Furthermore, you can run dx <command> --help to get help with a specific command.

Dioxus config file

You can use the Dioxus.toml file for further configuration. Some fields are mandatory, but the CLI tool will tell you which ones are missing. You can create a Dioxus.toml with all fields already set using dx config init project-name, or you can use this bare-bones template (only mandatory fields) to get started:

[application]
name = "project-name"
# Currently supported platforms: web, desktop
default_platform = "web"

[web.app]
title = "Hello"

[web.watcher]

[web.resource.dev]

The full anatomy of Dioxus.toml is shown on the Dioxus website.
