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.
