Add missing viam module create step in hello world module docs

[Abalaxy]

Was going through the Create a Hello World module doc and discovered that the viam module create step was missing, but that it was present in the dedicated Upload a module to the Viam Registry doc. Added in that information, for both Python and Go, and updated the language in the existing steps to be consistent with the change.

Hey @Abalaxy I see there is viam module generate instructions on https://docs.viam.com/how-tos/hello-world-module/#generate-stub-files. I think that is why there is no create below. Behind the scenes generate will also run create. Unless something isn't working right.

In my exploring I also saw there were two similar how-tos for creating a module. Should there be only one?

My understanding is that using Register module: Yes when prompted by the CLI module generator would indeed register the module. If a user said Register module: No, that's when they'd need to run viam module create, but that's outside the scope of this particular doc.

These two docs serve two different purposes: The hello world guide is more prescriptive and provides less information. It's also only for Python and Go. The more general create a module guide provides more details and generalized guidance, and includes C++ information. Currently, there's also the Create a Python Sensor Module guide, which has overlap as well. The docs IA is changing, and with those changes we'll be modifying some of this content.

Aggghhh, I missed switching that to Yes! I had the "Generate the sensor code" section open as well and read that and conflated the two, because that section says to set it to No (which is correct for that call, but not the first one). Good catch, nevermind then 🤦

I’m sorry! I’m realizing the instructions to set it to Yes may have been updated only after you first encountered this page, because I did indeed erroneously have it set to No in a previous version. You were actually onto something before my other PR merged. Thank you so much for your efforts in any case.

No worries at all! Now I know how to make changes to the docs, so it was a useful exercise!
