Most users with a self-hosted Nextcloud have SSH access and the CLI
updater (updater.phar) is the more reliable approach. Move the
"Using the command line based updater" and "Batch mode" sections
before "Using the web based updater" so the preferred method is
presented first.
Also remove the forward reference ("same as for the web based updater")
from the CLI section intro since the web section now follows it.
Fixes #7605

This can move to the web updater instead

Since the web updater is now after the command line updater, it would make sense to add this to the web updater - i. e. "The web updater performs the same steps..."

What changed and why
Most self-hosted Nextcloud admins have SSH access, and
updater.pharisthe more reliable approach (no web server timeout risk, and the Troubleshooting
section already recommends it over the web-based updater when things go wrong).
The previous order put "Using the web based updater" first and
"Using the command line based updater" (updater.phar) second, so
occ upgradeappeared in the docs before
updater.pharwas introduced.This PR swaps the section order so
updater.pharis presented first:Also removes a now-stale forward reference ("steps are basically the same
as for the web based updater") from the CLI section intro.
