sl0ppty: make docs

contrib/gen-docs renders docs/ into a static site: one file of stdlib
Python and one stylesheet, no toolchain, no package manager, no npm. Same
argument as src/kdl.c being a hand-rolled KDL subset rather than a
library -- the input is ours, we know exactly which constructs it uses,
and a docs build that needs a lockfile is a docs build nobody runs.

What the Markdown subset understands is what docs/ actually contains:
headings (with anchors), paragraphs, fenced code, pipe tables, lists one
level deep, blockquotes, rules, `code`, bold, italic, links. Anything
else is escaped and passed through as text. A construct nobody uses is
not supported on purpose: it would be untested code pretending to be a
feature.

The layout is a sidebar of sections from docs/nav, the page, and its own
headings down the right; prev/next chains the nav order; a link to
another page is rewritten to its rendered page, so the same Markdown
reads correctly on a forge and on the site. The colours are the session's
own default theme, so the docs look like the thing they document, and the
light variant follows the reader's system preference rather than a toggle
nobody would find. Zero JavaScript -- the narrow-screen menu is a
checkbox.

Two things came out of looking at it in a browser rather than trusting
the HTML.

The hero diagram was hand-drawn and its lines were 78 and 79 columns
long, which is visible. It is generated from a real session now -- three
panes, a layout file, a text snapshot -- so it is exactly what the
program draws. Terminal art also needs tighter leading and a font whose
box drawing joins, so a fence with box characters in it and no language
is emitted as art rather than code and styled for that. Detected rather
than declared, because the alternative is a marker on every fence and one
of them getting forgotten. (Vertical rules still break between lines in
a browser: the glyph does not fill its em box, and no amount of CSS
changes that. Widths line up, which is the part that matters.)

The narrow-screen menu opened over a page that showed through underneath
it: as a grid child taken out of flow it kept its content height, so
`bottom: 0` did nothing. It has an explicit height now.

tests/test_docs.py checks both jobs. The site: every page in the nav is
rendered, carries the whole sidebar, is marked as current on its own
page, chains prev/next, and no internal link in the output points at a
file that is not there. The subset: each construct, and the one that
matters most -- markup inside a code span is not markup, because half of
these docs are shader expressions full of asterisks. A page missing from
docs/nav fails the build, and so does a nav entry with no file: an
unreachable page whose only symptom is its absence is the failure mode a
hand-written nav has.
