This uses the myst_heading_anchors option to automatically generate
header anchors and make Sphinx aware of them. See
https://myst-parser.readthedocs.io/en/latest/syntax/optional.html#auto-generated-header-anchors.
Note: to be compatible with GitHub, MyST-Parser uses a slightly
different convention for .md fragment links than .html fragment links
when punctuation is involved. This does not affect the generated
fragment links in the HTML output.
Fixes#13264.

We previously had a convention of redundantly including the directory
in relative links to reduce mistakes when moving content from one file
to another. However, these days we have a broken link checker in
test-documentation, and after #21237, MyST-Parser will check relative
links (including fragments) when you run build-docs.

- Updated 260+ links from ".html" to ".md" to reduce the number of issues
reported about hyperlinks not working when viewing docs on Github.
- Removed temporary workaround that suppressed all warnings reported
by sphinx build for every link ending in ".html".
Details:
The recent upgrade to recommonmark==0.5.0 supports auto-converting
".md" links to ".html" so that the resulting HTML output is correct.
Notice that links pointing to a heading i.e. "../filename.html#heading",
were not updated because recommonmark does not auto-convert them.
These links do not generate build warnings and do not cause any issues.
However, there are about ~100 such links that might still get misreported
as broken links. This will be a follow-up issue.
Background:
docs: pip upgrade recommonmark and CommonMark #13013
docs: Allow .md links between doc pages #11719Fixes#11087.
Sphinx/ReadTheDocs supports automatically translating links written as
to `.md` files to point to the corresponding `.html` files, so this
migration does not change the resulting HTML output in ReadTheDocs.
But it does fix apparent broken links on GitHub.
This doesn't prevent people from reading the documentation on GitHub
(so doesn't mitigate the fact that some rtd-specific syntax does not
render properly on GH), but it will prevent us from getting erroneous
issues reported about the hyperlinks not working.
Fixes: #11087.
