Docgen: Split the "global functions" page into multiple ones
======

- Primary motivation: https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/16383
- Currently, the pages generated by docgen is a `PageTitle -> Page` map. It's then separated into multiple categories based on the `docCategory` value of the `@StarlarkBuiltin` annotation, with the exception of the "global functions" page, which is special-cased.
  - This has several issues: for one, the configuration fragment named "proto" has a conflict with the top-level module named "proto", since everything is in the same map (we work around this by naming the latter "ProtoModule", which is wrong and confusing).
  - For another, we can't easily split the "global functions" page into multiple ones, unless we special-case every one of them.
- So we structure the returned pages into a `Category -> [Page]` map. The new category `GLOBAL_FUNCTION` contains a few pages, each of which contains global functions available in a certain environment (see https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/commit/d1c72d70f45c2362a87d22ebac9e5bb7f2b4ae0a). The other categories are largely unchanged.
- We also change the URL format of these pages from `..../lib/$TITLE.html` to `..../lib/$CATEGORY/$TITLE.html`.
  - The bulk of this CL involves fixing up all links.
  - This also means that "proto" the configuration fragment and "proto" the top-level module can now both be named "proto".
  - This does break old links, but I can't find the energy to set up redirects for everything...
- Miscellaneous changes:
  - The `starlark-nav.vm` page is removed; nobody uses it.
  - Renamed the category overview pages from `..../lib/starlark-$CATEGORY.html` to just `..../lib/$CATEGORY.html`, now that there's no pages directly under `..../lib`.
  - A bunch of small documentation fixes across the codebase as I went through them.
