Vyacheslav Egorov b2d5245dcd [vm/docs] Improve VM docs tooling.
Main change is around removing our custom syntax which allows
to read markdown files directly on GitHub:

* instead of using custom link format `@{xref}` we start
  using normal links. For example, [`dart::ThreadPool`][] is
  understood as a ref to `dart::ThreadPool` class declaration.
  `build.py` script injects an xref section at the end of
  each markdown file.
* similarly we don't use custom syntax for admonitions, but
  instead use blockquotes. `build.py` detects block quotes
  which start with a marker like `**Note**` and renders
  then in a custom way.

This CL also drops dependency on cquery and instead rewrites
indexing in pure Python via libclang.

Markdown

This directory contains helper scripts for rendering runtime wiki pages as HTML.
```shell
# Run webserver for development.
$ runtime/tools/wiki/build/build.py
# Build wiki for deployment
$ runtime/tools/wiki/build/build.py --deploy
```
# Markdown extensions
## Admonitions and Asides
Blockquotes starting with `> **Marker**` are converted either:
- into sidenotes (if `Marker` is `Note`), which will be rendered on margins
of the page;
- admonitions (if `Marker` is `Source to read`, `Trying it` or `Warning`).
## Referencing C++ symbols and files
Script extends Markdown references with special support for references that
use ``[`ref`][]`` and ``[text][`ref`]``. The following values for `ref` are
recognized and resolved as links to GitHub at the current commit.
* `file-path` is resolved as a link to the given file;
* `package:name/path.dart` is resolved as a link to file `path.dart` within
package `name` - actual path is resolved via `.dart_tool/package_config.json`
file in the SDK root;
* `c++ symbol` is resolved as a link to the line in the file which defines
the given C++ symbol.
If markdown file contains any references in this form then running
`runtime/tools/wiki/build/build.py --deploy` will generate a reference
section at the end of the file. Appending this section allows other Markdown
tools (e.g. GitHub viewer) to render such special links correctly.
# Prerequisites
1. Install all Python dependencies.
```console
$ pip3 install coloredlogs jinja2 markdown aiohttp watchdog pymdown-extensions pygments
```
2. Install `libclang` (`brew install llvm` on Mac OS X).
3. Install SASS compiler (make sure that SASS binary is in your path).
