ponyc PR #5974 adds type argument inference for generic method and constructor calls. The generics overview was doing too much in one page — the practical how-to content was buried in what readers expect to be a brief introduction. This trims the overview to the concept (what generics are, what the syntax looks like at a glance) and moves all the practical content to a "Using Generics" page with subsections for generic classes, type parameter defaults, generic methods, and type argument inference.

Documents generic type argument inference from ponyc PR #5974 and restructures the generics tutorial section.

Depends on ponylang/ponyc#5974 being released first.
