Zeke Foppa f49945cc6a Fix CLI reference generation (#3403)
# Description of Changes

Add back the instructions for regenerating CLI docs, which were removed
in https://github.com/clockworklabs/SpacetimeDB/pull/3343. I also made a
script for it.

This also fixes the CI checking this file, which was silently broken in
the same PR.

I have **not** verified that this works in Git Bash in Windows.

# API and ABI breaking changes

None

# Expected complexity level and risk

1

# Testing
- [x] CI passes
- [x] CI fails if I change the CLI reference
- [x] CLI reference looks visually reasonable on a local `pnpm dev`

This document provides an overview of the cargo ci command-line tool, and documentation for each of its subcommands and options.

cargo ci

SpacetimeDB CI tasks

This tool provides several subcommands for automating CI workflows in SpacetimeDB.

Options:

  • --skip: Skip specified subcommands when running all

When no subcommand is specified, all subcommands are run in sequence. This option allows specifying subcommands to skip when running all. For example, to skip the unreal-tests subcommand, use --skip unreal-tests.

  • --help: Print help (see a summary with '-h')
