This adds a generated page similar to the API reference, including all the possible commands. It's a long list, but better than nothing. 😁 I wasn't able to group them into sections due to the way they are currently dynamically generated, but maybe there's a way.
I've noticed a lot of people still use the CLI even though it has some issues. I'm hoping this can help people/prevent opening issues that are simply due to missing docs (recent example: #1197), or at least we can more quickly close those by providing the link rather than providing examples every time.
Also means no more manual examples for the CLI are needed, hopefully.
Click also has a drop-in replacement for the sphinx extension used for this PR, so switching at a later point should be easy.
Closes #1197.
