feat(docs): nested lists in HTML, update :help parser

- Docs HTML: improvements in https://github.com/neovim/tree-sitter-vimdoc
  allow us to many hacks in `gen_help_html.lua`.
- Docs HTML: support nested lists.
- Docs HTML: avoid extra newlines (too much whitespace) in old
  (preformatted) layout.
- Docs HTML: disable golden-grid for narrow viewport.
- Workaround for https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/20404

closes https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/20404
