Our cordova-cli readme has become super long & not been maintained over the years. It repeats a lot of content from the docs. I have simplified it significantly by linking to relevant getting started, filing issues, contribution etc. sections that are part of our website. This should help maintenance as we do not repeat ourselves. However, there is a loss of some inline content.
