do not render relative links in help pages
...
this simplifies the setup a lot, and avoids weird looking `./file.md`
links showing up.
it also does not show regular URLs any more. currently the command
reference only has few of them, and not showing them in the offline
documentation is hopefully not a big deal.
instead of building more special-case solutions, clumsily preprocessing
the input, or issuing verbal rules on dealing with URLs, should better
be solved sustainably by not rendering relative links in `lowdown`:

Thus we can return the examples section (and any other sections) from
doc() and don't need examples() anymore.
