docs(examples): add yarn add webpack-cli step - #7174

Conversation
Running node_modules/bin/webpack without webpack-cli installed will get hang. The culprit is that webpack expects a stdin of whether to install webpack-cli or not. However, as examples/build-common use `child_process.exec` to execute `webpack`, the user will not be prompted for any questions since the stdin is not piped and the stdout will be pass to parent process only after the child process exits. We can keep build-common simple by instructing devs to install webpack-cli before they build examples. Also rewrite the install step using yarn since we use yarn in webpack.

Here, yarn is used to align with https://github.com/webpack/webpack/blob/master/_SETUP.md#setup. Personally I am good to either one as long as documented in contribution guide.

It must be yarn. npm don't read the yarn.lock file so it yields different results.
