fix(lua2dox): filter out the entire `---@alias` block

Problem: Any preceding luadocs block that define alias types with
`@alias` magic would be prepended to the documentation of functions
that follow, despite the "blank line" separator. For example:

```
--- @alias some.type.between.functions
--- Blah blah long documentation for alias
--- | "foo" # foo
--- | "bar" # bar

--- The documentation that should appear in vimdoc.
function M.function_to_include_in_doc()
  ...
end
```

then the vimdoc generated for `function_to_include_in_doc` would include
the text from the alias block (e.g., "Blah blah ... for alias").

Solution:

- refactor: Lua2DoxFilter should maintain its own internal state
  `generics`, rather than carrying it as a parameter to local helper
  functions.

- Add another boolean state `boolean_state` which represents whether
  to ignore the current docstring block (magic lines). This flag will
  be reset as soon as the block is end.

Note: As expected, there is no change at all in the current docs
generated, because we have been working around and writing luadoc
comments so that such erroneous docstring resulting from preceding
`@alias` blocks won't appear.
