feat: v5 style overhaul (#2469)
Style updates:

- New "core" theme serves as base for all other themes (official and third-party)
- New CSS custom properties for simplified customization of "core" theme
  **Note:** List of available properties will be made available in documentation by embedding soruce CSS in docs after merge. Merge is required because embedded CSS needs to be in `main` branch. For now, see `_vars.css` and `_vars-advanced.css` for details.
- New theme "add-ons" modify core theme properties and/or add custom declarations as needed.
- New Prism.js theme support
- New configurable sidebar toggle design
- New typography defaults to system sans-serif and monospace fonts instead of relying on external web font.
- New "Core Dark" theme addon provide dark theme styles. Can optionally be applied based on operating system's light/dark setting using `@media` attribute on `<link>` element.
- New "Vue" theme addon. Closely replicated popular v4 theme while allowing for v5 enhancements.
- New CSS class names available for adding loading indicators, adding sidebar expand/collapse icons, adding sidebar group styles, clamping sidebar links to a single line with ellipses, and changing the sidebar toggle icon.
- New auto-generated gradient background for cover page (ensure gradient hue is > 50 degree apart, use OKLCH color if supported, randomize grandient angle, reduce brightness in dark mode)
- New button styles (basic, primary, secondary)
- New form element styles (text input, radio, checkbox, )
- New "callouts" (previously "important" and "tip" helpers)
- New default syntax highlighting theme (from [docsify-themeable](https://jhildenbiddle.github.io/docsify-themeable/))
- New auto-generated theme color shade and tint colors
- New auto-generated monochromatic color palette
- New form element styles (fields, legend, text input, text area, checkbox, radio, toggles, and select)
- New "headerless" tables
- New `kbd` styles
- New task list style
- New merged navbar styles (consistent with sidebar nav styles)
- New search plugin styles and keyboard shortcut indicators
- Add ability restore previously focused content element after hiding sidebar
- Add "focus trap" when sidebar is visible on mobile (accessibility)
- Add ability for sidebar links to wrap by default (previous single-line w/ ellipsis display available as CSS class on `<body>` option)
- Add sidebar `page-link`, `group`, and `group-title` CSS classes to sidebar markup.
- Add reduced motion media query to set all animation/transition timings to zero
- Update Google Font imports (use new variable vs older fixed width fonts)
- Update primary/secondary button order on coverpage (primary should be first)
- Fix missing merged navbar when loading at desktop resolution then resizing to mobile
- Fix inverted open/close sidebar visibility state at desktop/mobile resolutions
- Fix overflow setting to prevent clipping of element focus ring
- Fix safe area inset margins on mobile in landscape orientation
- Fix inverted "tip" and "warn" class names
- Fix scroll padding to prevent headers from touching top edge of viewport when scrolled to

# Quick start
It is recommended to install `docsify-cli` globally, which helps initializing and previewing the website locally.
```bash
npm i docsify-cli -g
```
## Initialize
If you want to write the documentation in the `./docs` subdirectory, you can use the `init` command.
```bash
docsify init ./docs
```
## Writing content
After the `init` is complete, you can see the file list in the `./docs` subdirectory.
- `index.html` as the entry file
- `README.md` as the home page
- `.nojekyll` prevents GitHub Pages from ignoring files that begin with an underscore
You can easily update the documentation in `./docs/README.md`, of course you can add [more pages](more-pages.md).
## Preview your site
Run the local server with `docsify serve`. You can preview your site in your browser on `http://localhost:3000`.
```bash
docsify serve docs
```
?> For more use cases of `docsify-cli`, head over to the [docsify-cli documentation](https://github.com/docsifyjs/docsify-cli).
## Manual initialization
Download or create an `index.html` template using the following markup:
<div id="template">
<a href="#" class="button primary" download="index.html">Download Template</a>
<!-- prettier-ignore -->
```html
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, viewport-fit=cover">
<!-- Core Theme -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/docsify@5/themes/core.min.css">
</head>
<body class="loading">
<div id="app"></div>
<!-- Configuration -->
<script>
window.$docsify = {
//...
};
</script>
<!-- Docsify.js -->
<script src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/docsify@5"></script>
<!-- Plugins (optional) -->
<!-- <script src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/docsify@5/dist/plugins/search.min.js"></script> -->
</body>
</html>
```
</div>
### Specifying docsify versions
?> Note that in both of the examples below, docsify URLs will need to be manually updated when a new major version of docsify is released (e.g. `v5.x.x` => `v6.x.x`). Check the docsify website periodically to see if a new major version has been released.
Specifying a major version in the URL (`@5`) will allow your site to receive non-breaking enhancements (i.e. "minor" updates) and bug fixes (i.e. "patch" updates) automatically. This is the recommended way to load docsify resources.
<!-- prettier-ignore -->
```html
<!-- Core Theme -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/docsify@5/themes/core.min.css">
<!-- Docsify -->
<script src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/docsify@5"></script>
```
If you prefer to lock docsify to a specific version, specify the full version after the `@` symbol in the URL. This is the safest way to ensure your site will look and behave the same way regardless of any changes made to future versions of docsify.
<!-- prettier-ignore -->
```html
<!-- Core Theme -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/docsify@5.0.0/themes/core.min.css">
<!-- Docsify -->
<script src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/docsify@5.0.0"></script>
```
### Manually preview your site
If you have Python installed on your system, you can easily use it to run a static server to preview your site.
```python
# Python 2
cd docs && python -m SimpleHTTPServer 3000
```
```python
# Python 3
cd docs && python -m http.server 3000
```
## Loading dialog
If you want, you can show a loading dialog before docsify starts to render your documentation:
```html
<!-- index.html -->
<div id="app">Please wait...</div>
```
You should set the `data-app` attribute if you changed `el`:
```html
<!-- index.html -->
<div data-app id="main">Please wait...</div>
<script>
window.$docsify = {
el: '#main',
};
</script>
```
Compare [el configuration](configuration.md#el).
<script>
(function() {
const linkElm = document.querySelector('#template a[download="index.html"]');
const codeElm = document.querySelector('#template code');
const html = codeElm?.textContent;
linkElm?.setAttribute('href', `data:text/plain,${html}`);
})();
</script>
