vigress8 c7af89c797 change shebangs of all .sh scripts to bash
On operating systems where /bin/sh is not Bash, some scripts are invalid
because of bashisms, and building Lix fails with errors like this:
`render-manpage.sh: 3: set: Illegal option -o pipefail`
This modifies all scripts that use a `/bin/sh` shebang to `/usr/bin/env
bash`, including currently POSIX-compliant ones, to prevent any future
confusion.

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 65d544b1a6 build: extract make "functions" into scripts
we'll want to use these for the meson builds, and probably eventually
rewrite them in something that isn't plain shell. diffoscope confirms
that out/share and doc/share are equal before and after these changes
