Reworks the "Build your first app" tutorial (the magic recipe app) for Serverpod 3.5, per #545.
What changed across the four pages:
docker compose+dart bin/main.dart+ manualserverpod generatewithserverpod start(watch mode, hot reload, embedded Postgres). The app starts once on page 1 and hot reloads through the rest.screens/layout and pre-wiredclient) instead of the stale code snippets.serverpod startTUI (the M and A keys).titleanddescriptionfrontmatter, plus "Before you start" and continuation intros, per the tutorial template.Note: the upstream magic_recipe example repo that feeds the SNIPSTART snippets is stale for beta.9. This PR inlines correct code; the example repo still needs a separate update.
Closes #545
