docs update

  • What is the current behavior?

The introductory sentence of the documentation homepage is the first thing the user may see when discovering Arduino
CLI. For this reason, it's important for it to quickly and clearly convey what Arduino CLI is. It's possible the current wording could be improved to do a better job of this.

  • What is the new behavior?

The wording of the sentence is improved via the following changes:

  • Use more understandable terms
  • Rearrange features list in the order of typical usage (install dependencies, compile, upload)
  • Does this PR introduce a breaking change, and is
    titled accordingly?

Does this PR introduce a breaking change

No

is titled accordingly
Yes

  • Other information:

I have changed the term "discovery" to "board detection". I feel that the meaning of "discovery" in this context is not widely known. The only uses of "discovery" in the documentation refer to library discovery, which is not the meaning of "discovery" in this sentence.
