docs(tutorial): Experiment with a flat layout

With the new-ish rustdoc header sidebar, hopefully this will make this
layout easiest to deal with.

By having everything on one page, people are less likely to miss
something, especially if they use their browsers search.

+//! ## Tutorial for the Derive API
+//!
+//! *See the side bar for the Table of Contents*
+//!
+//! ## Quick Start
+//!
+//! You can create an application declaratively with a `struct` and some
+//! attributes.
+//!
+//! First, ensure `clap` is available with the [`derive` feature flag][crate::_features]:
+//! ```console
+//! $ cargo add clap --features derive
+//! ```
+//!
+//! Here is a preview of the type of application you can make:
+//! ```rust
+#![doc = include_str!("../../examples/tutorial_derive/01_quick.rs")]
+//! ```
+//!
+#![doc = include_str!("../../examples/tutorial_derive/01_quick.md")]
+//!
+//! See also
+//! - [FAQ: When should I use the builder vs derive APIs?][crate::_faq#when-should-i-use-the-builder-vs-derive-apis]
+//! - The [cookbook][crate::_cookbook] for more application-focused examples
+//!
+//! ## Configuring the Parser
+//!
+//! You use derive [`Parser`][crate::Parser] to start building a parser.
+//!
+//! ```rust
+#![doc = include_str!("../../examples/tutorial_derive/02_apps.rs")]
+//! ```
+//!
+#![doc = include_str!("../../examples/tutorial_derive/02_apps.md")]
+//!
+//! You can use [`#[command(version, about)]` attribute defaults][super#command-attributes] on the struct to fill these fields in from your `Cargo.toml` file.
+//!
+//! ```rust
+#![doc = include_str!("../../examples/tutorial_derive/02_crate.rs")]
+//! ```
+#![doc = include_str!("../../examples/tutorial_derive/02_crate.md")]
+//!
+//! You can use `#[command]` attributes on the struct to change the application level behavior of clap.  Any [`Command`][crate::Command] builder function can be used as an attribute, like [`Command::next_line_help`].
+//!
+//! ```rust
+#![doc = include_str!("../../examples/tutorial_derive/02_app_settings.rs")]
+//! ```
+#![doc = include_str!("../../examples/tutorial_derive/02_app_settings.md")]
+//!
+//! ## Adding Arguments
+//!
+//! 1. [Positionals](#positionals)
+//! 2. [Options](#options)
+//! 3. [Flags](#flags)
+//! 4. [Subcommands](#subcommands)
+//! 5. [Defaults](#defaults)
+//!
+//! Arguments are inferred from the fields of your struct.
+//!
+//! ### Positionals
+//!
+//! By default, struct fields define positional arguments:
+//!
+//! ```rust
+#![doc = include_str!("../../examples/tutorial_derive/03_03_positional.rs")]
+//! ```
+#![doc = include_str!("../../examples/tutorial_derive/03_03_positional.md")]
+//!
+//! Note that the [default `ArgAction` is `Set`][super#arg-types].  To
+//! accept multiple values, override the [action][Arg::action] with [`Append`][crate::ArgAction::Append] via `Vec`:
+//! ```rust
+#![doc = include_str!("../../examples/tutorial_derive/03_03_positional_mult.rs")]
+//! ```
+#![doc = include_str!("../../examples/tutorial_derive/03_03_positional_mult.md")]
+//!
+//! ### Options
+//!
+//! You can name your arguments with a flag:
+//! - Order doesn't matter
+//! - They can be optional
+//! - Intent is clearer
+//!
+//! To specify the flags for an argument, you can use [`#[arg(short = 'n')]`][Arg::short] and/or
+//! [`#[arg(long = "name")]`][Arg::long] attributes on a field.  When no value is given (e.g.
+//! `#[arg(short)]`), the flag is inferred from the field's name.
+//!
+//! ```rust
+#![doc = include_str!("../../examples/tutorial_derive/03_02_option.rs")]
+//! ```
+#![doc = include_str!("../../examples/tutorial_derive/03_02_option.md")]
+//!
+//! Note that the [default `ArgAction` is `Set`][super#arg-types].  To
+//! accept multiple occurrences, override the [action][Arg::action] with [`Append`][crate::ArgAction::Append] via `Vec`:
+//! ```rust
+#![doc = include_str!("../../examples/tutorial_derive/03_02_option_mult.rs")]
+//! ```
+#![doc = include_str!("../../examples/tutorial_derive/03_02_option_mult.md")]
+//!
+//! ### Flags
+//!
+//! Flags can also be switches that can be on/off:
+//!
+//! ```rust
+#![doc = include_str!("../../examples/tutorial_derive/03_01_flag_bool.rs")]
+//! ```
+#![doc = include_str!("../../examples/tutorial_derive/03_01_flag_bool.md")]
+//!
+//! Note that the [default `ArgAction` for a `bool` field is
+//! `SetTrue`][super#arg-types].  To accept multiple flags, override the [action][Arg::action] with
+//! [`Count`][crate::ArgAction::Count]:
+//!
+//! ```rust
+#![doc = include_str!("../../examples/tutorial_derive/03_01_flag_count.rs")]
+//! ```
+#![doc = include_str!("../../examples/tutorial_derive/03_01_flag_count.md")]
+//!
+//! This also shows that any[`Arg`][crate::Args] method may be used as an attribute.
+//!
+//! ### Subcommands
+//!
+//! Subcommands are derived with `#[derive(Subcommand)]` and be added via
+//! [`#[command(subcommand)]` attribute][super#command-attributes] on the field using that type.
+//! Each instance of a [Subcommand][crate::Subcommand] can have its own version, author(s), Args,
+//! and even its own subcommands.
+//!
+//! ```rust
+#![doc = include_str!("../../examples/tutorial_derive/03_04_subcommands.rs")]
+//! ```
+//! We used a struct-variant to define the `add` subcommand.
+//! Alternatively, you can use a struct for your subcommand's arguments:
+//! ```rust
+#![doc = include_str!("../../examples/tutorial_derive/03_04_subcommands_alt.rs")]
+//! ```
+//!
+#![doc = include_str!("../../examples/tutorial_derive/03_04_subcommands.md")]
+//!
+//! ### Defaults
+//!
+//! We've previously showed that arguments can be [`required`][crate::Arg::required] or optional.
+//! When optional, you work with a `Option` and can `unwrap_or`.  Alternatively, you can
+//! set [`#[arg(default_value_t)]`][super#arg-attributes].
+//!
+//! ```rust
+#![doc = include_str!("../../examples/tutorial_derive/03_05_default_values.rs")]
+//! ```
+#![doc = include_str!("../../examples/tutorial_derive/03_05_default_values.md")]
+//!
+//! ## Validation
+//!
+//! 1. [Enumerated values](#enumerated-values)
+//! 2. [Validated values](#validated-values)
+//! 3. [Argument Relations](#argument-relations)
+//! 4. [Custom Validation](#custom-validation)
+//!
+//! An appropriate default parser/validator will be selected for the field's type.  See
+//! [`value_parser!`][crate::value_parser!] for more details.
+//!
+//! ### Enumerated values
+//!
+//! For example, if you have arguments of specific values you want to test for, you can derive
+//! [`ValueEnum`][super#valueenum-attributes]
+//! (any [`PossibleValue`] builder function can be used as a `#[value]` attribute on enum variants).
+//!
+//! This allows you specify the valid values for that argument. If the user does not use one of
+//! those specific values, they will receive a graceful exit with error message informing them
+//! of the mistake, and what the possible valid values are
+//!
+//! ```rust
+#![doc = include_str!("../../examples/tutorial_derive/04_01_enum.rs")]
+//! ```
+#![doc = include_str!("../../examples/tutorial_derive/04_01_enum.md")]
+//!
+//! ### Validated values
+//!
+//! More generally, you can validate and parse into any data type with [`Arg::value_parser`].
+//!
+//! ```rust
+#![doc = include_str!("../../examples/tutorial_derive/04_02_parse.rs")]
+//! ```
+#![doc = include_str!("../../examples/tutorial_derive/04_02_parse.md")]
+//!
+//! A [custom parser][TypedValueParser] can be used to improve the error messages or provide additional validation:
+//!
+//! ```rust
+#![doc = include_str!("../../examples/tutorial_derive/04_02_validate.rs")]
+//! ```
+#![doc = include_str!("../../examples/tutorial_derive/04_02_validate.md")]
+//!
+//! See [`Arg::value_parser`][crate::Arg::value_parser] for more details.
+//!
+//! ### Argument Relations
+//!
+//! You can declare dependencies or conflicts between [`Arg`][crate::Arg]s or even
+//! [`ArgGroup`][crate::ArgGroup]s.
+//!
+//! [`ArgGroup`][crate::ArgGroup]s  make it easier to declare relations instead of having to list
+//! each individually, or when you want a rule to apply "any but not all" arguments.
+//!
+//! Perhaps the most common use of [`ArgGroup`][crate::ArgGroup]s is to require one and *only* one
+//! argument to be present out of a given set. Imagine that you had multiple arguments, and you
+//! want one of them to be required, but making all of them required isn't feasible because perhaps
+//! they conflict with each other.
+//!
+//! [`ArgGroup`][crate::ArgGroup]s are automatically created for a `struct` with its
+//! [`ArgGroup::id`][crate::ArgGroup::id] being the struct's name.
+//!
+//! ```rust
+#![doc = include_str!("../../examples/tutorial_derive/04_03_relations.rs")]
+//! ```
+#![doc = include_str!("../../examples/tutorial_derive/04_03_relations.md")]
+//!
+//! ### Custom Validation
+//!
+//! As a last resort, you can create custom errors with the basics of clap's formatting.
+//!
+//! ```rust
+#![doc = include_str!("../../examples/tutorial_derive/04_04_custom.rs")]
+//! ```
+#![doc = include_str!("../../examples/tutorial_derive/04_04_custom.md")]
+//!
+//! ## Testing
+//!
+//! clap reports most development errors as `debug_assert!`s.  Rather than checking every
+//! subcommand, you should have a test that calls
+//! [`Command::debug_assert`][crate::Command::debug_assert]:
+//! ```rust,no_run
+#![doc = include_str!("../../examples/tutorial_derive/05_01_assert.rs")]
+//! ```
+//!
+//! ## Next Steps
+//!
+//! - [Cookbook][crate::_cookbook] for application-focused examples
+//! - Explore more features in the [Derive reference][super]
+//!   - See also [`Command`], [`Arg`], [`ArgGroup`], and [`PossibleValue`] builder functions which
+//!     can be used as attributes
+//!
