…into drogus/skip-db-in-CLI-commands
…or messages - Commands with unambiguous <database> args (logs, delete) now fall through to treat unknown database names as ad-hoc databases instead of erroring, removing the need for --no-config in those cases. - `spacetime sql` falls through similarly when 2+ args are provided (first must be a database since sql expects exactly 1 query). - Multi-target config errors now list the configured databases instead of the generic "not in the config file" message. - `spacetime sql "SELECT ..."` with multi-target config gives a helpful error suggesting the correct syntax instead of the misleading "missing <query>" error.

The clap-standard SCREAMING_CASE placeholders like <FUNCTION_NAME> in help strings end up as bare HTML/JSX tags in the generated CLI reference markdown, causing the Docusaurus MDX build to fail. Rather than changing the help text conventions, add a post-processing step to the doc generation script that escapes <PLACEHOLDER> patterns outside backtick code spans. Regenerate CLI docs.

Description of Changes
This PR introduces a possibility to skip passing a DB name to various commands if there is a config file with one database defined
API and ABI breaking changes
This changes the behaviour of several CLI commands:
Expected complexity level and risk
4 - it's tricky to get all of the combinations of CLI arguments right
Testing
I've tested the simplest cases manually.
