Add set command to wp post meta documentation

[1deadpixl]

The help docs show an example to set meta data for a post:
wp post meta set 123 _wp_page_template about.php

However, the set command is not included in the list of sub-commands for the wp post meta command.

Looking at the success message in the examples, it might be that set is an alias for update? If this is the case, it should be noted as such in the docs.

Hi @1deadpixl ,

I've discussed this internally with the WP-CLI team and this is the response:

Usually, these aliases are only included for backwards-compatible deprecations. The docs only show the command that is supposed to be used, not the previous one that was deprecated.
We could certainly look into improving that, but the tooling for the docs will then need to be updated to support it.

I can't give you an ETA, but if time permits I'll look into it. Thanks for raising this!
