Description

Description / Steps to reproduce / Feature proposal

In the CLI generator docs e.g. https://loopback.io/doc/en/lb4/Model-generator.html, the example --config option shows the lb4 app example. This is true for Application, Datasource, Repository, etc. generators (7 generators in total).

Expected Behavior

We should show the appropriate config json file that the commands are expecting. Find a dynamic way to update https://github.com/strongloop/loopback-next/blob/master/docs/site/includes/CLI-std-options.md for each command.

Research direction

Start with docs/site/includes/CLI-std-options.md and compare its --config example with the CLI generator documentation, including the seven generators named in the issue. Determine how each command’s expected config JSON is represented, then update the documentation so every command shows the appropriate example and verify the affected generator pages.
