This commit aims to fix some readability issues in regards to those are visually
impaired, mainly colorblindness.
- contrast of the fg/bg have been increased
- link and text have been brightened
- container objects (like the nav, <pre> background) contrast the primary
background more.

This is an attempt at solving several problems reported by novice
users. The old rendering was very compact and quite fine once you
got used to its, ..., "conventions". But it was also sometime rather
hard to read.
First of all, it abused bold and italic. It also "merged" optional
parameters and parameters with default content. It got worst when
the documentation was spread over mutiple lines.
For property types and constructors with large number of parameters,
it was also quite unreadable.
The new representation, while far from perfect, is less dense and
more explicit. It has a separate column for "optional" using the
new "metadata chip" documentation concept. It is also an aligned
table and correctly renders multi-line documentation.
Finally, it adds a "note" message when the named parameter convention
is used. This way the users looking at the examples will be less
confused.
Below a screen width of 768px (Bootstrap's "medium" breakpoint)
the sidebar will collapse to a small strip. Hovering the sidebar will
fully reveal it until the mouse leaves it.
Clicking the sidebar will reveal it until another part of the page is
clicked.
It is hard know to which row a "chip" like inherited belongs to. This
fixes it for mouse users.
I also tried using alternate row colors, but our colors are so "light"
that there wasn't any good candidate between "white" and the <body>
background color.
This commit adds a new ldoc custom tag `@supermodule`. It has to be
used at the module level. It should refer to the module
supermodules.
This tag can be used multiple time by the same module, but we ignore
other calls (for now?) as (AFAIK) we only use one way inheritance.
This tag is used in the ldoc template to find modules hierarchy and
draw the inheritance tree. It makes it easy to find and navigate to
parents modules.
The previous index.html was scary and the most useful links were
at the bottom. This commit fixes that.
It also adds an image of the default config with some labels to name
all visible components.
* Add `@inheritedproperty`, `@inheritedmethod` and `@inheritedsignal` ldoc tags to specify inherited members in the documentation,
* These new tags create their own section in the rendered documentation,
* Implemente these tags for `docs/common/object.ldoc` and `docs/common/widget.ldoc`.
First of all, yes, JavaScript in the doc. I don't like this either.
The reason is that the new sections are super useful *when you need
them*. However, in practice, that's rare. So better not make the
signal to noise ratio worst. Future commit will introduce an
auto-generated summary of what's hidden.
Rather that abusing of how the arguments are displayed to convey the
type, add native support.
It still uses the @param for the doc, so this doesn't cause a million
little noisy changes, but the rendered HTML now have a real section for
the type. This is added to both the summary and the expanded description.
Additionally, if the type has a description string, a second is added.
The module names for also have their alias. The commit also remove 2
deprecated module that were forgotton in the previous "get rid of the
deprecated modules in the doc" PR.
