XF 2.0 Documentation needs updating

[Brettflan]

I'm currently going through the documentation on how to create an addon in XF2.
https://xenforo.com/xf2-docs/dev/lets-build-an-add-on/

The first thing I noticed is that things have changed a bit since this was written. The CLI prompts when creating a new addon are slightly changed. The default addon.json and Setup.php files created are also a bit different. Nothing major, but could do with updating.

After the initial changes to Setup.php, there is this note:

Note
Don't forget to execute the queries yourself!

This doesn't provide any info on how you're supposed to go about executing the queries yourself, so that would be helpful to include. I considered just using PHPMyAdmin, but decided to read back through earlier documentation to see if I could find the "proper" way.

I found that here, using the commands:
php cmd.php xf-addon:install-step Demo/Portal 1
php cmd.php xf-addon:install-step Demo/Portal 2
php cmd.php xf-addon:install-step Demo/Portal 3

I'll try to post back again in this thread if I come across anything else beyond just minor "not quite up to date" stuff.

Maybe worth noting that the developer documentation is drawn from GitHub: https://github.com/xenforo-ltd/docs/

Some existing issues are given there as well. I'm sure they'd consider pull requests for updates if anyone is so inclined.
