When documenting in the CLI reference, don't include excessive detail #1577

Description

@nathanjmcdougall

In #1565, the agent tried to introduce excessive detail into the CLI reference. It would be better to keep the reference factual.

If the context is especially import, it belongs in a separate .md file, with a hyperlink to it from the CLI reference.

Good:

- `--output-file` to write the output to a file instead of stdout.

Bad:

- `--output-file` to write the output to a file instead of stdout. This is useful to avoid issues when shell redirects (e.g. `> file.txt`) create the file before the command runs, which can influence the behaviour of `usethis show`.
