#1127 Clear up Server Command Line options

[pljones]

Short description of changes
As per #1127, the Release Process referred to a non-existent document that should be checked.

This change:

• Creates (restores?) that document
• Updates the Release Process also to mention the separate Shared command line options file
• Removes the unused Command-Line-Options.md file
• Turns all the options lists into markdown tables
• Adjusts Running-a-Server references for slightly improved consistency
  • Separately, we could do with cleaning this page up...
• Adjusts Server-Troubleshooting references for slightly improved consistency
• Adjusts Software-Manual a heading and mentions the server options are elsewhere

Review and approve.

Although at the moment getting GitHub Actions job jekyll_site_ci working is probably more important. I'm trying to get CoPilot to take a look.

[ann0see]

I'm unsure what happens and why. So I'd rather not approve this without knowing the back story.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The command-line documentation now uses shared, client, and server sections. Command lists use tables, links target the updated headings, and the release checklist verifies all three command pages.

Changes

Command documentation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Command option tables wiki/en/Include-Shared-Commands.md, wiki/en/Include-Client-Commands.md, wiki/en/Include-Server-Commands.md	Shared and client options now use tables. Server options are documented in a new table.
Documentation structure and links wiki/en/Command-Line-Options.md, wiki/en/Software-Manual.md, wiki/en/Running-a-Server.md, wiki/en/Server-Troubleshooting.md	The generic command-options page was removed. Client and server sections now use separate headings and updated links.
Release checklist verification contribute/en/Release-Process.md	The checklist now includes shared command documentation when comparing help output.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0c2ad

This documentation-only change has low production risk, but unresolved table markup and heading issues may make command options harder to read or navigate. It is mergeable with bounded follow-up to correct these documentation defects.

Full details: Style And Kiss Check

Explanation

The pull request does not follow the repository documentation rules or Markdown style. It deletes wiki/en/Command-Line-Options.md but leaves 13 matching translated .po files, although wiki/README.md requires those files to be removed manually. _posts/2020-03-28-Server-Rpi.md:40 still links to the deleted English page. The three new command include files contain pipe rows but no Markdown header/separator row, so they are not valid GitHub Markdown tables. The changed headings # Client Command Line Options and ### Server Command Line Options also violate the style guide's sentence-case heading rule. The new server table contains the typo minimizied.

Resolution

Remove or update all translated Command-Line-Options.po files and change the remaining Raspberry Pi link to a valid page. Add valid Markdown table headers and separator rows, or keep the lists as simple lists. Change the new headings to sentence case. Correct minimizied and proofread the new table text.

Use nested heading levels for the command groups.

Shared commands and Server only commands use ###, so they are peers of Server Command Line Options, not subsections. Use #### for both headings so the document hierarchy and generated table of contents match the intended structure.
