Gleb Khmyznikov e3a1ee2e5b [DOCS] docmd links to source files normalization (#48754)
This pull request adds a custom `docmd` plugin to improve how
documentation links to source files are handled, ensuring that
repo-root-relative links work both when editing locally and on the
published site. The main changes include introducing the new plugin,
updating configuration to use it, and documenting its behavior.

**Plugin integration and configuration:**

* Added a new local plugin `github-source-links` in `docmd-plugins/`,
which rewrites repo-root-relative links (e.g., `/src/.../Foo.cpp`) in
Markdown files to absolute GitHub blob URLs during the documentation
build process, ensuring links remain functional on the published site.

* Updated `docmd.config.json` to register the new plugin under the
`plugins` key, enabling it for documentation builds.
* Updated `package.json` to include the plugin as a dependency,
referencing the local plugin directory.

**Documentation updates:**

* Updated `README.md` to document the new `docmd-plugins/` folder,
explain the purpose of repo-root-relative links, and describe how the
plugin rewrites these links for the published site.

// docmd plugin: github-source-links
//
// The dev docs link to source files with repo-root-relative paths such as
// "/src/modules/.../Foo.cpp". VS Code resolves those against the workspace root,
// so they stay clickable while editing locally. On the published static site,
// however, a "/src/..." link resolves against the site origin and 404s.
//
// This plugin rewrites those links to absolute GitHub blob URLs so they work on
// the published site, while the Markdown sources stay untouched (keeping local
// VS Code navigation intact).
//
// It hooks markdownSetup at the Markdown token level, so it only rewrites links
// written in the docs' content. docmd's own generated links (sidebar, breadcrumbs,
// canonical tags) are never seen here, which matters because an internal doc route
// like "/tools/build-tools" is otherwise indistinguishable from a repo path like
// "/tools/BugReportTool" once rendered to HTML.
//
// docmd appends a trailing slash to the rewritten links (".../Foo.cpp/"); GitHub
// resolves that to the file anyway, so it is left as-is for simplicity.
