5282083dec Fix heading nav with folded chapters
This fixes an issue when folding is enabled. The folding was not
properly hiding the sub-chapters because it was assuming it could hide
the next list element. However, the heading nav was the next list
element, so the remaining chapters remained visible.

The solution required some deeper changes to how the chapters were
organized in the sidebar. Instead of nested chapters being a list
element *sibling*, the nested chapter's `ol` is now a *child* of its
parent chapter. This makes it much easier to just hide everything
without regard of the exact sibling order.

This required wrapping the chapter title and the toggle chevron inside a
span so that the flex layout could be localized to just those elements,
and allow the following `ol` elements to lay out regularly.

2b242494b0 Add a new HTML rendering pipeline
This rewrites the HTML rendering pipeline to use a tree data structure,
and implements a custom HTML serializer. The intent is to make it easier
to make changes and to manipulate the output. This should make some
future changes much easier.

This is a large change, but I'll try to briefly summarize what's
changing:

- All of the HTML rendering support has been moved out of
  mdbook-markdown into mdbook-html. For now, all of the API surface is
  private, though we may consider ways to safely expose it in the
  future.
- Instead of using pulldown-cmark's html serializer, this takes the
  pulldown-cmark events and translates them into a tree data structure
  (using the ego-tree crate to define the tree). See `tree.rs`.
- HTML in the markdown document is parsed using html5ever, and then
  lives inside the same tree data structure. See `tokenizer.rs`.
- Transformations are then applied to the tree data structure. For
  example, adding header links or hiding code lines.
- Serialization is a simple process of writing out the nodes to a
  string. See `serialize.rs`.
- The search indexer works on the tree structure instead of re-rendering
  every chapter twice. See `html_handlebars/search.rs`.
- The print page now takes a very different approach of taking the
  same tree structure built for rendering the chapters, and applies
  transformations to it. This avoid re-parsing everything again. See
  `print.rs`.
    - I changed the linking behavior so that links on the print page
      link to items on the print page instead of outside the print page.
- There are a variety of small changes to how it serializes as can be
  seen in the changes to the tests. Some highlights:
	- Code blocks no longer have a second layer of `<pre>` tags wrapping
      it.
    - Fixed a minor issue where a rust code block with a specific
      edition was having the wrong classes when there was a default
      edition.
- Drops the ammonia dependency, which significantly reduces the number
  of dependencies. It was only being used for a very minor task, and
  we can handle it much more easily now.
- Drops `pretty_assertions`, they are no longer used (mostly being
  migrated to the testsuite).

There's obviously a lot of risk trying to parse everything to such a low
level, but I think the benefits are worth it. Also, the API isn't super
ergonomic compared to say javascript (there are no selectors), but it
works well enough so far.

I have not run this through rigorous benchmarking, but it does have a
very noticeable performance improvement, especially in a debug build.

I expect in the future that we'll want to expose some kind of
integration with extensions so they have access to this tree structure
(or some kind of tree structure).

2474ae799b Add ToUrlPath helper trait
This adds the `ToUrlPath` helper trait to convert a Path to a path
suitable for use in HTML (replacing `normalize_path`).

This also fixes a minor bug where on Windows the next/prev links were
using a double forward slash. I don't think this is possible, since
chapter links are derived from the summary, but I'm noting just in case.
It's also not too much of an issue since double slashes are normally
just treated as a single.

3e673ce424 Switch from log to tracing
This switches to using the tracing crate instead of log. Tracing
provides a lot of nice features which we can take advantage of moving
forward.

This also adjusts the output fairly significantly. This includes:

- Switched the environment variable from RUST_LOG to MDBOOK_LOG.
- Dropped the timestamp. I experimented with various different time
  displays, but ultimately decided to omit it for now. I don't think
  I've ever found it to be useful, and it takes up a very significant
  amount of space. It could potentially be useful for basic profiling,
  but I think there are other, better mechanisms for that. We could
  consider leveraging tracing itself for doing some basic profiling
  (like using something like tracing-chrome).
- Dropped the target unless MDBOOK_LOG is set. The target tends to be
  pretty noisy, and doesn't really convey much information unless you
  are debugging or otherwise trying to adjust the log output.
- Added color.
- Slightly reworked the way the error cause trace is displayed.
- Slightly changed the way html5ever filtering is done, as well as add
  handlebars to the list since they both are very noisy. You can
  override this now by explicitly listing them as targets.

I still expect that mdbook will eventually change how it displays things
to the console, possibly switching away from tracing and printing things
itself. However, that is a larger project for the future.

2dc8c5e686 Use embedded SVG instead of fonts for icons
The [downsides of icon fonts] are well-documented, and also, why ship all of
the icons when it only uses 14?

ff5e85af51 Replace navigation helpers with objects
This replaces the `{{#previous}}` and `{{#next}}` handelbars helpers
with simple objects that contain the previous and next values. These
helpers have been a bit fussy to work with and have caused issues in the
past. This drops a large amount of somewhat fragile code with something
that is a bit simpler.

Additionally, this switches the previous/next arrows to use an `{{#if}}`
instead CSS trickery which may help with upcoming changes to
font-awesome.

06324d8b24 Move hbs_renderer to mdbook-html
This is a pure git rename in order to make sure that git can follow
history. The next commit will integrate these into mdbook-html.
Additional commits will refactor/move/remove items.
