This is mostly good! Missing Expo instructions, and (possibly separately) based on that we should also update the README. Left a few improvements, mostly around the commands, because AFAIK we should use npx brownfield as a shorthand
- Split quick-start into platform-specific iOS and Android guides - Add detailed step-by-step instructions for XCFramework and AAR packaging - Explain brownfield CLI purpose and benefits - Add Xcode/Android Studio screenshots from Rock docs - Remove Rock references, focus on built-in CLI - Add bold highlights for key terms and commands

Previous docs had multiple paths (CLI, Rock, custom scripts) which was confusing. This PR consolidates around the built-in CLI for a clearer onboarding experience.
All of the integration guides were taken from Rock JS docs. Shoutout to @thymikee for creating them. (https://www.rockjs.dev/docs/brownfield/ios)
