Sylvestre Ledru 2f607401b6 Bug 2038819 - Convert ipc/docs RST documentation to Markdown r=jld
The Sphinx configuration already supports both RST and Markdown via
myst-parser. Converting these docs to Markdown for consistency with
the rest of the tree.

Done with rst-to-myst plus manual fixups: replace eval-rst tables that
relied on RST substitutions with Markdown tables using inline HTML for
strikethrough/line-break, fix :ref: cross-references to use explicit
slug labels, and update the cross-doc link in index.md to use {doc}.
docs/config.yml warning patterns updated from .rst to .md.

For inter-process communication involving Javascript, see {doc}JSActors </dom/ipc/jsactors>. They are a very limited case, used for communication between elements in the DOM, which may exist in separate processes. They only involve the main process and content processes -- no other processes run Javascript.
