On a high level, this is what this PR changed:
1. Move the CLI chapter before the API chapter.
I think this makes sense because the CLI is more high-level.
The same change was proposed in
bytecodealliance#7987.
1. Move some Rust and C examples from the "Examples" chapter into the API chapter.
1. Remove the original main C and Rust chapter introduction files.
They contained mostly outdated or duplicate information.
1. Rename the "Examples" chapter to "Further Examples".
(For lack of a better name.)
1. Rename "Embedding" to "API" at some places since API is a more generally known term.
The term "embedding" is also slightly more confusing, I think,
because the term nowadays also used a lot in LLM-related communication.
1. Read through the entire document and fix some outdated links and information.
1. Fix a missing subheading for Elixir (it was mentioned on the lang page, but not in the menu).

Reassigning review to @alexcrichton as it's not totally clear to me how this should relate with the still-pending #7987. Thanks @rikhuijzer for the careful thought around all of these changes though; they do seem like reasonable cleanups to me! |

This PR suggests to reorder the book-based documentation. The main change is moving the CLI chapter before the API (embedding) chapter like was proposed in #7987 by @alexcrichton. The rest is mostly cleaning up of duplicate or outdated information.
With these changes, this PR fixes some confusion that I had with the current layout. Currently, it's not so clear how the Subsection "2.3 Embedding in Rust" relates to Chapter "3. Using WebAssembly from your language" with Subsection "3.1 Rust". With these changes, these two examples are merged and now all fall under Chapter "2. Using the Wasmtime API".
More specifically, this is what this PR changed:
