docs(core): update Nx installation steps to prefer global installs (#31513)
This PR makes the global install more prominent. This is important for
non-JS workspaces since they may not have node or npm available. The
installation flow should be:

1. Install Nx (e.g. `brew install nx`)
2. Run `nx init` in your project

The `create-nx-workspace` is removed since it's already mentioned on the
intro page, and it is covered in tutorials. It is also not technically
an "install" command.

Preview:

**Note:** The cross-platform NPM install is still featured first because
it'll work for everyone. It shouldn't be a concern for non-JS devs since
other tools like Claude Code also has `npm install --global` as their
install step.
