This adds a top-level document for the new `to` command, with a list (of links) of all the subcommands. All the to-* subcommands keep their filename, but the content is updated to use the new subcommand syntax. Since not all subcommands have documentation, some items in the list are just text without a link. Also filled the list for the undocumented from* commands in the same style. Fixes #1709

Example for from csv
Let's say we have the following file :
> cat pets.txt
animal, name, age
cat, Tom, 7
dog, Alfred, 10
chameleon, Linda, 1
pets.txt is actually a .csv file but it has the .txt extension, open is not able to convert it into a table :
> open pets.txt
animal, name, age
cat, Tom, 7
dog, Alfred, 10
chameleon, Linda, 1
To get a table from pets.txt we need to use the from csv command:
> open pets.txt | from csv
