DOC-13760 produce markdown per page (WIP)

[osfameron]

This PR uses Antora's extension mechanism to generate .md files at the time of publishing the site.

We publish them as *.md in the same directory, and link to the file with a <link rel="alternate" ...> for each page.

There are a few issues to resolve.

• FATAL: memory usage is too high and the Node runtime exits with FATAL ERROR: Ineffective mark-compacts near heap limit Allocation failed - JavaScript heap out of memory

• I tried to account for this with NODE_OPTIONS: --max_old_space_size=16384 (doubled from previous 8192, already increased from default 4096) with no impact.
  As this creates a file for Every Page stored within memory, this was always a possibility.

• MITIGATION 1 (TODO): increase the heap size again

• MITIGATION 2 (TODO): try only producing the .md file for the latest versions of components?

• MARKUP production: as we are going from Asciidoc -> HTML -> Markdown, this is a little lossy. This POC inspects the HTML to try to rebuild Admonitions (as Github Flavoured markdown Alerts)

• We could try using OpenDevise's https://github.com/opendevise/downdoc but the Antora pipeline doesn't currently seem to give the collated Asciidoc markup. e.g. looking at the Generator Events it seems like at contentClassified stage we have Asciidoc source (but without Includes processed) and at the following documentsConverted phase, we get the output HTML, but there's no intermediate step.

• We could potentially use Antora Assembler, but that works on a whole site nav, whereas we're looking at producing Markdown for every single file.

The condition uses className (string) for comparison, but the admonition check below uses classList.contains(). Use classList.contains('anchor') for consistency and to handle multiple classes correctly.

Suggested change

	&& element.className === 'anchor' ) {
	&& element.classList?.contains('anchor') ) {

After removing 'admonitionblock' from classList, element.className may contain other classes or be empty. This will produce incorrect admonition types. Extract the admonition class name before removing 'admonitionblock' or use a more specific selector to identify the admonition type.

Suggested change

	element.classList.remove('admonitionblock')
	const admonition = element.className.toUpperCase()
	// Extract admonition type before removing 'admonitionblock'
	const admonitionType = Array.from(element.classList).find(cls => cls !== 'admonitionblock') || '';
	element.classList.remove('admonitionblock')
	const admonition = admonitionType.toUpperCase()

[nitpick] The variable name path shadows the outer scope if Node's path module is imported elsewhere. Consider renaming to mdPath or markdownPath to avoid potential confusion.

Suggested change

	const path = page.out.path.replace(/\.html$/, '.md')
	// tell docs-ui to output <link rel="alternate" ...> for the markdown page.
	page.asciidoc.attributes["page-markdown-alt"] = `${page.out.rootPath}/${path}`
	siteCatalog.addFile({
	contents: Buffer.from(markdown),
	out: { path }
	const mdPath = page.out.path.replace(/\.html$/, '.md')
	// tell docs-ui to output <link rel="alternate" ...> for the markdown page.
	page.asciidoc.attributes["page-markdown-alt"] = `${page.out.rootPath}/${mdPath}`
	siteCatalog.addFile({
	contents: Buffer.from(markdown),
	out: { path: mdPath }

The event handler is marked async but contains no await operations. Remove the async keyword as it's unnecessary and may create unneeded promise overhead when processing all pages.

Suggested change

	this.on('navigationBuilt', async ({ playbook, siteAsciiDocConfig, siteCatalog, uiCatalog, contentCatalog }) => {
	this.on('navigationBuilt', ({ playbook, siteAsciiDocConfig, siteCatalog, uiCatalog, contentCatalog }) => {
