docs: Move command line details to a separate page

This change makes the user guide page more readable and results in a
command line usage page which is easy to navigate as all sub-commands
can be found in the left-hand outline panel.

Also fix the layout of the environment variables table by using a
replacement.

Command line usage
==================
.. argparse::
:module: kas.kas
:func: kas_get_argparser
:prog: kas
Environment variables
---------------------
+-----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
| Environment variables | Description |
+=======================+=====================================================+
| ``KAS_WORK_DIR`` | The path of the kas work directory, current work |
| | directory is the default. |
+-----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
| ``KAS_REPO_REF_DIR`` | The path to the repository reference directory. |
| | Repositories in this directory are used as |
| | references when cloning. In order for kas to find |
| | those repositories, they have to be named in a |
| | specific way. The repo URLs are translated like |
| | this: "https://github.com/siemens/meta-iot2000.git" |
| | resolves to the name |
| | "github.com.siemens.meta-iot2000.git". |
+-----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
| ``KAS_DISTRO`` | This overwrites the respective setting in the |
| ``KAS_MACHINE`` | configuration file. |
| ``KAS_TARGET`` | |
| ``KAS_TASK`` | |
+-----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
| ``KAS_PREMIRRORS`` | Specifies alternatives for repo URLs. Just like |
| | bitbake ``PREMIRRORS``, this variable consists of |
| | new-line separated entries. Each entry defines a |
| | regular expression to match a URL and, space- |
| | separated, its replacement. E.g.: |
| | "https://.*\.somehost\.io/ https://localmirror.net/"|
+-----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
| ``SSH_PRIVATE_KEY`` | Path to the private key file that should be added |
| | to an internal ssh-agent. This key cannot be |
| | password protected. This setting is useful for CI |
| | build servers. On desktop machines, an ssh-agent |
| | running outside the kas environment is more useful. |
+-----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
| ``SSH_AUTH_SOCK`` | SSH authentication socket. Used for cloning over |
| | SSH (alternative to ``SSH_PRIVATE_KEY``). |
+-----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
| ``DL_DIR`` | Environment variables that are transferred to the |
| ``SSTATE_DIR`` | bitbake environment. |
| ``TMPDIR`` | |
+-----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
| ``http_proxy`` | This overwrites the proxy configuration in the |
| ``https_proxy`` | configuration file. |
| ``ftp_proxy`` | |
| ``no_proxy`` | |
+-----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
| ``GIT_PROXY_COMMAND`` | Set proxy for native git fetches. ``NO_PROXY`` is |
| ``NO_PROXY`` | evaluated by OpenEmbedded's oe-git-proxy script. |
+-----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
| ``SHELL`` | The shell to start when using the `shell` plugin. |
+-----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
| ``TERM`` | The terminal options used in the `shell` plugin. |
+-----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
| ``AWS_CONFIG_FILE`` | Path to the awscli configuration and credentials |
| |aws_cred| | file that are copied to the kas home dir. |
+-----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
.. |aws_cred| replace:: ``AWS_SHARED_CREDENTIALS_FILE``
