cp.md: major overhaul
- change "directory" to "folder" (more beginner-friendly) - use an extension to distinguish file paths from folder paths - reword some of the descriptions for clarity - include examples to clarify when the target argument defines the actual copy, and when it defines the folder where to put the copy - add an example to copy contents of a folder into another (existing) foldercoverage
