Alexis AguilarandMiranda Limonczenko 8617532ae1 fix(docs): remove orphaned cli.mdx and update stale /guides/cli link (#51495)
Resolves
[DOCS-1252](https://linear.app/supabase/issue/DOCS-1252/resolve-e2e-broken-link-errors-for-the-cli-guide).

#48453 updated most `/cli` links to `/local-development`. This PR covers
the remaining `/cli` references.

## Changes

- **Delete `apps/docs/content/guides/cli.mdx`.** The file has had no
route since the October 2024 docs IA reorganization (#29364), which
moved the CLI guides under `local-development/`.
- In production, `/docs/guides/cli` redirects to
`/docs/guides/local-development` through `apps/www/lib/redirects.js`, so
the file's content never renders.
- On Vercel previews, which don't have `www` redirects, the URL returns
404. Docs E2E tests every changed guide file, so any edit to `cli.mdx`
fails the required check.
- Deleting it is safe for Docs E2E, which only scopes added or changed
files. The redirect still covers the old URL.
- **Update the connection-refused troubleshooting page** to link to
`/docs/guides/local-development` instead of the redirected
`/docs/guides/cli`.
- **Point the "Go to Local Dev / CLI" command palette entry at
`/guides/local-development`.** It routed to `/guides/cli`, which only
resolves through the `www` redirect and returns 404 on previews.
- **Remove the unused `cli` navigation menu** from
`NavigationMenu.constants.ts`. No `MenuId` resolves to it, so it was
never rendered, and its links pointed to pages that no longer exist.

Question for @czenko: 
#48453 left `cli.mdx` alone on purpose, describing it as needing a
routing or content decision. Deleting it seemed like the simplest fix,
but is there a reason to keep it? It looks like it's an artifact that
sometimes gets updated because it's being mistaken as a living document.
Also, I believe troubleshooting guides are being currently moved - this
ticket and change might coincide with the new
https://github.com/supabase/troubleshooting repository, but I didn't see
this file existing in there just yet - it's being currently being moved
in this PR
https://github.com/supabase/troubleshooting/pull/330/changes#diff-b5908c6861f711c3a38fba99aa133cdb796f26c27a35e77c674cb21f988a1046
(so I think I should do the link change in that PR and I can remove it
from this PR as to not create merge conflicts or drift). But it makes
questions come up about how broken links are handled in that repository
👀
