Research direction

Start with the CLI Basics page and verify whether ns start is supported in NativeScript CLI v8.6.0, since the issue notes it is not documented in the CLI repository. If confirmed, add a concise usage explanation and its role as an entry point for common commands; done when the page documents the command consistently with its official status.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

In addition to what's already there, think it would be nice to include some words about how to use the ns start command for getting started (or as the entry point for the other common commands you would use). It was introduced in NativeScript CLI v8.6.0.

To be fair, it's not even documented as a command in the CLI repo itself - which maybe suggests that it's not necessarily ready for official inclusion yet?
