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.

GN support in the build system
{abbr}GN (Generated Ninja) is a third-party build tool used by chromium and
some related projects that are vendored in mozilla-central. Rather than
requiring GN to build or writing our own build definitions for these projects,
we have support in the build system for translating GN configuration
files into moz.build files. In most cases these moz.build files will be like any
others in the tree (except that they shouldn't be modified by hand), however
those updating vendored code or building on platforms not supported by
Mozilla automation may need to re-generate these files. This is a per-project
process, described in dom/media/webrtc/third_party_build/gn-configs/README.md for
webrtc. As of writing, it is very specific to webrtc, and likely doesn't work as-is
for other projects.
