Remove references to SBT from lab words #771

Closed axelnilsson98 closed 3 weeks ago

Remove references to sbt from lab words and make it not mandatory since scala-cli now is the main way to compile and run projects in the course

Is it wrong to call scala-cli a build tool? Is there a better way to define it? I am working on a PR for this issue

The scala-cli is a limited build tool that can't have sub-builds like sbt and sbt can do much more. But since scala-cli will eventually be the official scala commmand I'd like to call scala-cli the "Scala runner" or the "Scala CLI" or the "Scala command line interdace" in swedish "körverktyg", "kommadoverktyg", but it is not wrong to call it a build tool as it builds executables. See official terminology here https://scala-cli.virtuslab.org/
