Going through the Expo section on the Installation page, I found installation instructions were outdated. The managed term is deprecated since only Expo Go and development builds are currently reliable terminologies when it comes to starting a new Expo project. To reflect this, this PR makes the following changes:
Remove use of managed as a term and section heading
Add link to H2 heading for Expo
Change expo install ... command to npx expo install ... since expo-cli is deprecated and now local Expo CLI is used inside an Expo project to install a new library when running expo install.
Update Expo link to expo.dev since expo.io is no longer a working domain
Update Bare section about initializing a new project with create-expo-app whose default template now comes with react-native-gesture-handler library installed. The bare template which has been updated since expo-cli was deprecated has now become bare-minimum and doesn't include this library. I've also added a link to the Create a project page in Expo docs.
Fix React Native link in the sub section heading to use https protocol.
Remove expo-cli reference and link.
Test plan
By going through the changes manually and ensuring all links are working.
