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 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 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 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

Adding pages

If you need more pages, you can simply create more markdown files in your docsify directory. If you create a file named guide.md, then it is accessible via /#/guide.

For example, the directory structure is as follows:

.
└── docs
    ├── README.md
    ├── guide.md
    └── zh-cn
        ├── README.md
        └── guide.md

Matching routes

docs/README.md        => http://domain.com
docs/guide.md         => http://domain.com/#/guide
docs/zh-cn/README.md  => http://domain.com/#/zh-cn/
docs/zh-cn/guide.md   => http://domain.com/#/zh-cn/guide

Sidebar

In order to have a sidebar, you can create your own _sidebar.md (see this documentation's sidebar for an example):

First, you need to set loadSidebar to true. Details are available in the configuration paragraph.

<!-- index.html -->

<script>
  window.$docsify = {
    loadSidebar: true,
  };
</script>
<script src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/docsify@5/dist/docsify.min.js"></script>

Create the _sidebar.md:

<!-- docs/_sidebar.md -->

- [Home](/)
- [Page 1](page-1.md)

To create section headers:

<!-- docs/_sidebar.md -->

- Section Header 1

  - [Home](/)
  - [Page 1](page-1.md)

- Section Header 2

  - [Page 2](page-2.md)
  - [Page 3](page-3.md)

You need to create a .nojekyll in ./docs to prevent GitHub Pages from ignoring files that begin with an underscore.

!> Docsify only looks for _sidebar.md in the current folder, and uses that, otherwise it falls back to the one configured using window.$docsify.loadSidebar config.

Example file structure:

└── docs/
    ├── _sidebar.md
    ├── index.md
    ├── getting-started.md
    └── running-services.md

Nested Sidebars

You may want the sidebar to update after navigation to reflect the current directory. This can be done by adding a _sidebar.md file to each folder.

_sidebar.md is loaded from each level directory. If the current directory doesn't have _sidebar.md, it will fall back to the parent directory. If, for example, the current path is /guide/quick-start, the _sidebar.md will be loaded from /guide/_sidebar.md.

You can specify alias to avoid unnecessary fallback.

<script>
  window.$docsify = {
    loadSidebar: true,
    alias: {
      '/.*/_sidebar.md': '/_sidebar.md',
    },
  };
</script>

!> You can create a README.md file in a subdirectory to use it as the landing page for the route.

Set Page Titles from Sidebar Selection

A page's title tag is generated from the selected sidebar item name. For better SEO, you can customize the title by specifying a string after the filename.

<!-- docs/_sidebar.md -->

- [Home](/)
- [Guide](guide.md 'The greatest guide in the world')

Table of Contents

Once you've created _sidebar.md, the sidebar content is automatically generated based on the headers in the markdown files.

A custom sidebar can also automatically generate a table of contents by setting a subMaxLevel, compare subMaxLevel configuration.

<!-- index.html -->

<script>
  window.$docsify = {
    loadSidebar: true,
    subMaxLevel: 2,
  };
</script>
<script src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/docsify@5/dist/docsify.min.js"></script>

Ignoring Subheaders

When subMaxLevel is set, each header is automatically added to the table of contents by default. If you want to ignore a specific header, add <!-- {docsify-ignore} --> to it.

# Getting Started

## Header <!-- {docsify-ignore} -->

This header won't appear in the sidebar table of contents.

To ignore all headers on a specific page, you can use <!-- {docsify-ignore-all} --> on the first header of the page.

# Getting Started <!-- {docsify-ignore-all} -->

## Header

This header won't appear in the sidebar table of contents.

Both <!-- {docsify-ignore} --> and <!-- {docsify-ignore-all} --> will not be rendered on the page when used.

And the {docsify-ignore} and {docsify-ignore-all} can do the samething as well.
