docs/commands: add from.md, update subcommands (#1712)
This adds a top-level document for the new `from` command, with a list of links of all the subcommands.

All the from-* subcommands keep their filename, but the content is updated to use the new subcommand syntax.

Needs matching update for to*

# from vcf
Parse text as `.vcf` and create table.
Syntax: `from vcf`
## Examples
Suppose contacts.txt is a text file that is formatted like a `.vcf` (vCard) file:
```shell
> open contacts.txt
BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0
FN:John Doe
N:Doe;John;;;
EMAIL;TYPE=INTERNET:john.doe99@gmail.com
...
```
Pass the output of the `open` command to `from vcf` to get a correctly formatted table:
```shell
> open contacts.txt | from vcf
─────┬─────────────────
# │ properties
─────┼─────────────────
0[table 8 rows]
```
```shell
> open contacts.txt | from vcf | get properties | where $it.name == "FN" | pick value
─────┬──────────────────────
# │ value
─────┼──────────────────────
0 │ John Doe
```
