c1e381ae8d Raw switch for jsondoc (#24568)
Implements #21928

Adds a `--raw` (since thats what the original issue used, suggestions
welcome) switch which stops the jsondoc gen from rendering rst/markdown.

Implemented by making `genComment` check if it needs to return the raw
string or not. This required switching the related procs to using
`Option` to handle how `nil` values were returned before. The `nil`
returns were eventually ignored so just ignoring `none(T)` has the same
effect.

Doesn't support `runnableExamples` since jsondocs doesn't support them
either

6f4106bf5d track call depth separately from loop count in VM (#24512)
refs #24503

Infinite recursions currently are not tracked separately from infinite
loops, because they also increase the loop counter. However the max
infinite loop count is very high by default (10 million) and does not
reliably catch infinite recursions before consuming a lot of memory. So
to protect against infinite recursions, we separately track call depth,
and add a separate option for the maximum call depth, much lower than
the maximum iteration count by default (2000, the same as
`nimCallDepthLimit`).

2620da9bf9 docgen: implement cross-document links (#20990)
* docgen: implement cross-document links

Fully implements https://github.com/nim-lang/RFCs/issues/125
Follow-up of: https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/18642 (for internal links)
and https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/20127.

Overview
--------

Explicit import-like directive is required, called `.. importdoc::`.
(the syntax is % RST, Markdown will use it for a while).

Then one can reference any symbols/headings/anchors, as if they
were in the local file (but they will be prefixed with a module name
or markup document in link text).
It's possible to reference anything from anywhere (any direction
in `.nim`/`.md`/`.rst` files).

See `doc/docgen.md` for full description.

Working is based on `.idx` files, hence one needs to generate
all `.idx` beforehand. A dedicated option `--index:only` is introduced
(and a separate stage for `--index:only` is added to `kochdocs.nim`).

Performance note
----------------

Full run for `./koch docs` now takes 185% of the time before this PR.
(After: 315 s, before: 170 s on my PC).
All the time seems to be spent on `--index:only` run, which takes
almost as much (85%) of normal doc run -- it seems that most time
is spent on file parsing, turning off HTML generation phase has not
helped much.
(One could avoid it by specifying list of files that can be referenced
and pre-processing only them. But it can become error-prone and I assume
that these linke will be **everywhere** in the repository anyway,
especially considering https://github.com/nim-lang/RFCs/issues/478.
So every `.nim`/`.md` file is processed for `.idx` first).

But that's all without significant part of repository converted to
cross-module auto links. To estimate impact I checked the time for
`doc`ing a few files (after all indexes have been generated), and
everywhere difference was **negligible**.
E.g. for `lib/std/private/osfiles.nim` that `importdoc`s large
`os.idx` and hence should have been a case with relatively large
performance impact, but:

* After: 0.59 s.
* Before: 0.59 s.

So Nim compiler works so slow that doc part basically does not matter :-)

Testing
-------

1) added `extlinks` test to `nimdoc/`
2) checked that `theindex.html` is still correct
2) fixed broken auto-links for modules that were derived from `os.nim`
   by adding appropriate ``importdoc``

Implementation note
-------------------

Parsing and formating of `.idx` entries is moved into a dedicated
`rstidx.nim` module from `rstgen.nim`.

`.idx` file format changed:

* fields are not escaped in most cases because we need original
  strings for referencing, not HTML ones
  (the exception is linkTitle for titles and headings).
  Escaping happens later -- on the stage of `rstgen` buildIndex, etc.
* all lines have fixed number of columns 6
* added discriminator tag as a first column,
  it always allows distinguish Nim/markup entries, titles/headings, etc.
  `rstgen` does not rely any more (in most cases) on ad-hoc logic
  to determine what type each entry is.
* there is now always a title entry added at the first line.
* add a line number as 6th column
* linkTitle (4th) column has a different format: before it was like
  `module: funcName()`, now it's `proc funcName()`.
  (This format is also propagated to `theindex.html` and search results,
  I kept it that way since I like it more though it's discussible.)
  This column is what used for Nim symbols resolution.
* also changed details on column format for headings and titles:
  "keyword" is original, "linkTitle" is HTML one

* fix paths on Windows + more clear code

* Update compiler/docgen.nim

* fix CI error

* fixes #20426; remove `maincommand` and `m` options since they are a noop since 2014 and causes confusion

fixes #20426

7f7b13a45f (diff-d949f8c356fd2dc9ceedc6f3dbbd01e2c806269dd0a8ad6516facf589fa2c99a) makes it a no op, but it causes a regression because it should add `expectArg(switch, arg, pass, info)` before the discard statement. It causes https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/20426 to happen. Without `expectArg(switch, arg, pass, info)`, `-mm:orc` is wrongly interpreted as `-m` and compiler, which doesn't make sense. It should either abort compilation or prints `argument for command line option expected: '-m'` message. Since they are a no op since 2014, let's remove it to clear the confusion. Let's wait and see whether it breaks something.

417b90a7e5 Improve Markdown code blocks & start moving docs to Markdown style (#19954)
- add additional parameters parsing (other implementations will just
  ignore them). E.g. if in RST we have:

  .. code:: nim
     :test: "nim c $1"

     ...

  then in Markdown that will be:

  ```nim test="nim c $1"
  ...
  ```

- implement Markdown interpretation of additional indentation which is
  less than 4 spaces (>=4 spaces is a code block but it's not
implemented yet). RST interpretes it as quoted block, for Markdown it's
just normal paragraphs.
- add separate `md2html` and `md2tex` commands. This is to separate
  Markdown behavior in cases when it diverges w.r.t. RST significantly —
most conspicously like in the case of additional indentation above, and
also currently the contradicting inline rule of Markdown is also turned
on only in `md2html` and `md2tex`. **Rationale:** mixing Markdown and
RST arbitrarily is a way to nowhere, we need to provide a way to fix the
particular behavior. Note that still all commands have **both** Markdown
and RST features **enabled**. In this PR `*.nim` files can be processed
only in Markdown mode, while `md2html` is for `*.md` files and
`rst2html` for `*.rst` files.
- rename `*.rst` files to `.*md` as our current default behavior is
  already Markdown-ish
- convert code blocks in `docgen.rst` to Markdown style as an example.
  Other code blocks will be converted in the follow-up PRs
- fix indentation inside Markdown code blocks — additional indentation
  is preserved there
- allow more than 3 backticks open/close blocks (tildas \~ are still not
  allowed to avoid conflict with RST adornment headings) see also
https://github.com/nim-lang/RFCs/issues/355
- better error messages
- (other) fix a bug that admonitions cannot be used in sandbox mode; fix
  annoying warning on line 2711
