Alya Abbott 279f7b1c8d user docs: Create separate "Code blocks" user documentation page.
* Move the extended documentation of code blocks to a separate page.
* Merge "code playgrounds" documentation to be a section of that page.
* Document copy widget on code blocks.
* This commit changes how we refer to "```python" type syntax for code
  blocks. Instead of being called a syntax highlighting label, this is
  now referred to as a "language tag", since it serves both syntax
  highlighting and playgrounds.
* Remap all the links.
* Advertise this new page in various places that previously did not have a link.

m-e-l-u-h-a-n 2699048208 markdown: Extend user mention syntax to support user_id for mentioning.
Extend our markdown system to support mentioning of users
by id also. Following these changes, it would be possible
to mention users with @**|user_id** and silently mention
using @_**|user_id**.

Main intention for extending the mention syntax is to make
it convenient for bots to mention a users using their ids. It
is to be noted that previous syntax are also supported.

Documentation tweaked by tabbott for better readability.

The changes were tested manually in development server, and also
by adding some new backend and frontend tests.

Fixes: #17487.

Sara Gulotta 1cb040647b markdown: Add support for spoilers.
This adds support for a "spoiler" syntax in Zulip's markdown, which
can be used to hide content that one doesn't want to be immediately
visible without a click.

We use our own spoiler block syntax inspired by Zulip's existing quote
and math block markdown extensions, rather than requiring a token on
every line, as is present in some other markdown spoiler
implementations.

Fixes #5802.

Rohitt Vashishtha f9caf522f0 markdown: Allow setting a default language for code blocks.
This adds a new realm setting: default_code_block_language.

This PR also adds a new widget to specify a language, which
behaves somewhat differently from other widgets of the same
kind; instead of exposing methods to the whole module, we
just create a single IIFE that handles all the interactions
with the DOM for the widget.

We also move the code for remapping languages to format_code
function since we want to preserve the original language to
decide if we override it using default_code_clock_language.

Fixes #14404.
