Docs needs a section for example code on generated models from the CLI

Issue Description

What was unclear/insufficient/not covered in the documentation

There is no section covering the proper usage after generating a model using the sequelize-cli. It will be useful for users to have a section covering how to use the generated files in the CLI from the documentation.

If possible: Provide some suggestion on how we can enhance the docs

✅: Possibly adding a section under Migrations / Creating the first Model (and Migration) on usage of how to use the models/index.js and models/user.js generated in an actual use case.

// Require way
const db = require("./models/index");
const User = require("./models/user");

// Import way
import db from "./models/index";
import User from "./models/user";

const user = User(db.sequelize, db.Sequelize.DataTypes)

const jane = user.build({
  firstName: "Jane",
  lastName: "Doe",
  email: "[email protected]"
});

console.log(jane.toJSON())

✅: Another approach could be us moving file usage to its own section. Like a setup guide so we can move out Project bootstrapping and Project bootstrapping / Configuration from the Migrations page. This ensures we can have a section dedicated to project setup via the CLI and reference other relevant parts of the documentation from there.

If there are any other recommendations, I'm happy to hear any suggestions 😄

Additional context

It's just odd to see project setup instructions via the CLI hidden away under migrations, considering how important the CLI is for proper usage in projects.
