* Add quickstart for how to build and run the compiler
The chapter is quite long, and a lot of the information is, while
valuable, not very important for newcomers. I think it makes sense to
have a condensed version for anyone just wanting to get started with
only the most important information.
* A few improvements to quickstart
It's super annoying to be forced to use this bad convention, and
apparently everyone agrees. The only reason no improvements have been
done is because those were blocked on writing a better checker.
I strongly believe that no checker is better than a bad checker, so
let's just delete it in the meantime. I kindly asked anyone who sees
this to complain about overly long sentences in review in the future, I
think we can make this turn out fine.
* Extract Bootstrap into its own section
Add brief explanation for `Step` and `Builder::ensure` as core
Bootstrap internal concepts.
* Drop common commands page (use `x --help` instead)
* Add `make` as an alternative entry point
* Add src/bootstrap/README.md link
* Update overview.md
Various link addition and minor edits for clarity.
* generic improvements
* fix line lengths for ci/cd

This patch also adds docs for `//@ llvm-cov-flags:`, and notes that coverage
tests support revisions (though none of the current tests actually do so).
* Use different type in an example
Sentences such as «without the argument u32» were ambiguous, as there were two distincts u32. Having a single one, the one in the monomorphization of the type, remove the ambiguity.
* Update src/ty.md
