stdlib documentation (#1745)

* #include an absolute path didn't work - because paths were taken to always be relative.

* Split out AST 'printing'.

* Replace listener with List<Section>

* Section -> Part.

* Kind -> Type Flags -> Kind for ASTPrinter::Part

* Improve comments around ASTPrinter.

* toString -> toText on Val derived types. toText appends to a StringBuilder.

* Added toSlice free function.
Added operator<< for Val derived types.
Use << where appropriate in doing toText.

* More work at mark down output.

* Fill in sourceloc for enum case.
Add more sophisticated location determination for EnumCase.
Refactored documentation output into DocMarkdownWriter.

* Improvements for sig output.

* Split up slang-doc into extractor and writer.

* WIP generic support for doc support.

* Some refactoring to make DocExtractor have potential to be used without Decls.

* Made doc extraction work without Decls.

* Output generic parameters.

* Add generic parameter extraction.

* Added writing variables.

* Add an interface test.

* Fix toArray.

* Support for extensions, and inheritance.

* Disable the doc test.

* Added flags to compileStdLib.

* More work around handling generics in markdown output.

* More improvements around associated type handling.

* List method names only once.
Output in/out/inout/const

* Fix namespace printing.

* WIP summarizing doc output.

* Small fixes and improvements for doc output.

* Output all stdlib in single doc file.

* Remove compile flags from addBuiltinSource.

* Find only unique signatures.
First pass at trying to get requirements.

* First pass at requirements for stdlib docs.

* Remove __ function/methods

* Added Target Availability

* Add markup access.
Make sections of stdlib hidden.

* MarkdownAccess -> Visibility
Add isVisible methods
Use ASTPrinter to print decl name.

* Add current stdlib doc output.

* Disable doc test for now.

* Fix clang issue.

* Don't use bullets and numbering , just use numbering.

* Put methods in source order.

* Fix bad-operator-call.slang test that fails because it now outputs out parameters as such.

* Refactor MarkDownWriter to separate 'extraction' from output.

* Fix typo around @ lines.

* Fix issue with extracting 'before' when preceeded by complex attributes/modifiers.

* Fix handling of generics with the same name.

* Work around for having overloading with generics - we don't want to output generic params as part of name.

* Remove generic paramters from name.

* Simplify handling of outputting overridable names.
