eldritch horrors 725f5cd358 docs: redo content generation for mdbook and manual
manpages can be rendered using the markdown output of mdbook, the rest
of the manual can generated out of the main doc/manual source tree. we
still use lowdown to actually render manpages instead of eg mdbook-man
because lowdown does generate reasonably good manpages (though that is
also somewhat debatable, but they're a lot better than mdbook-man).

doing this not only lets us drastically simplify the lowdown pipeline,
but also remove all custom {{#include}} handling since now mdbook does
all of it, even for the manpage builds. even the lowdown wrapper isn't
entirely necessary because lowdown can take all wrapper arguments with
command line flags rather than bits of input file content.

This also implements running mdbook in Meson, in order to generate the
manpages. The mdbook outputs are also installed in the usual location.

eldritch horrors 07ef9f9f5d docs: skip do custom include processing for mdbook
mdbook already does include processing of its own, and the custom
processing code has always admitted as much. we don't need it for
the mdbook build at this point if we run our preprocessors in the
right order, and maybe we can even have mdbook to return complete
pages to us that we only have to pass to lowdown without any more
preprocessing of our own.

Qyriad c355354772 docs: replace sed invocation with an mdbook preprocessor for @docroot@
We're not entirely clear on why the links preprocessor has to be done
*before* rather than after, but we assume it is probably that as a
builtin preprocessor it does some processing on the raw book source,
and not just the JSON data.

Also a real use for Python pattern matching? I know I was surprised too.

Robert Hensing be10c09d23 manual: Check links
mdbook-linkcheck is not consistent about its warning setting.
It disables some warnings, but not the warnings about lack of
fragment checking support; hence the extra filtering.

Jan Tojnar 26d1877d6e doc: Add redirects for the DocBook manual
There are still many links to the old manual on the web and
having them end up on the Introduction page is a bad user experience.

Jan Tojnar 3272afa17b doc: Port anchors preprocessor to jq script
Python is only pulled into the build closure by Mercurial, which might end up being removed.
Let’s port the script to jq, which is more likely to stay.

Jan Tojnar 4de84e095d doc: Introduce pre-processor for adding anchors to text
It is now possible to use the following syntax to insert anchors into the text:

    []{#anchor-name}

The anchor will allow linking to the location it is placed by appending #anchor-name to the URL.

Additionally, it is possible to create a link pointing to its own location by adding text between the square brackets:

    [`--add-root`]{#opt-add-root}

Improve margins between sections
The default CSS puts almost no space between sections, but a lot of
space between subsections. This flips that around.
