Sylvestre Ledru df0583fb15 Bug 2038819 - Convert build/docs RST to Markdown r=firefox-build-system-reviewers,sergesanspaille
Convert build/docs/*.rst (top-level and mozbuild/) to MyST-flavored
Markdown.

- Keep build/docs/mozbuild-symbols.rst as RST. The mozbuildsymbols
  custom directive emits nodes that confuse autosectionlabel when
  wrapped in a MyST eval-rst block.
- Keep build/docs/supported-configurations.rst as RST so that
  docs/contributing/build/supported.md can continue to use the MyST
  {include} directive on the original source.
- Refresh allowed-warnings globs to match the .md filenames for
  code-quality, contributing, crash-reporting, gtest, jsloader, js,
  overview, setup, and js/build.

# Environment Variables Impacting the Build System
Various environment variables have an impact on the behavior of the
build system. This document attempts to document them.
AUTOCLOBBER
: If defines, the build system will automatically clobber as needed.
The default behavior is to print a message and error out when a
clobber is needed.
This variable is typically defined in a {ref}`mozconfig <mozconfig>`
file via `mk_add_options`.
REBUILD_CHECK
: If defined, the build system will print information about why
certain files were rebuilt.
This feature is disabled by default because it makes the build slower.
MACH_NO_TERMINAL_FOOTER
: If defined, the terminal footer displayed when building with mach in
a TTY is disabled.
MACH_NO_FUNC_CACHE
: If defined, disables mach's persistent function result cache. This
cache speeds up operations like configure by avoiding redundant
expensive computations when input files haven't changed.
MACH_NO_WRITE_TIMES
: If defined, mach commands will not prefix output lines with the
elapsed time since program start. This option is equivalent to
passing `--log-no-times` to mach.
