Snider ace6306233 docs: restructure cmd docs to mirror CLI hierarchy
- Convert flat .md files to index.md in subdirectories
- Add subcommand directories (go/test, go/cov, build/sdk, etc.)
- Update dev/index.md to include multi-repo commands
- Structure now mirrors: core <cmd> [subcmd] → docs/cmd/<cmd>/<subcmd>/
