Configuration documentation recommends a CLI executable that is not installed #3707
Description
Describe the issue linked to the documentation
The configuration guide instructs users to run pyrit list initializers, but the installed package exposes pyrit_backend, pyrit_scan, and pyrit_shell, not a pyrit executable.
Reproduction: install the locked package and follow the documented command. It exits 127 because pyrit is absent; pyrit_scan list-initializers succeeds.
Suggest a potential alternative/fix
Replace it with pyrit_scan list-initializers, then check other documented pyrit invocations against the actual entry points. Verified entry points: pyproject.toml.
Tested commit d3446e0, PyRIT 1.2.0.dev0, offline install scope. Recovery evidence: files/evidence/round1/doc-cli-command.txt and list-initializers.txt; these local paths are not attachments.

Opened #3791 for this: it switches the guide to
pyrit_scan list-initializers, and also updates a couple of spots in the scanner notebook and the--target/--techniqueshelp text that still pointed at the deprecated--list-*flags.
