doc: harmonize fenced code snippet flags
We had a few code snippets that were using a non-descriptive tag (e.g.
`console` or `text`), whereas the actual language it's using describes
it better, and improves the syntax highlighting. This commit also
removes non-necessary leading chars (e.g. `$`, `>`, or `%`) to make it
easier for readers to copy and paste to try the command themselves.

doc: add `node:` prefix for all core modules
Some core modules can be loaded with or without the `node:` prefix.
Using the prefix disambiguates which specifiers refer to core modules.

This commit updates the docs to use the prefix everywhere a core module
is referenced.

foxxyz 6fdd5827f0 doc: anchor link parity between markdown and html-generated docs
Main changes:

- Replace current HTML anchor generation to match
  header anchor generation in Github markdown.
- Remove unnecessary double namespacing on generated anchors/links (E.G.
  `esm.md#loaders` instead of `esm.md#esm_loaders`).
- Anchors/links are automatically prefixed with their respective modules
  when concatenated for usage in `all.html`.

Benefits:

- All anchor links within and between markdown API docs actually work.
- Adding new anchor links no longer requires contributors to generate
  the HTML docs first to look up the correct anchors.
- Anchors are much shorter.
- All previous anchor links are preserved by generating hidden legacy
  anchors.

Rich Trott c205f672e9 doc: use command-line/command line consistently
Docs switch between "command line" and "command-line" with no apparent
uniformity. Microsoft Style Guide prescribes "command line" as a noun
and "command-line" as a modifier, which makes a lot of sense to me.
Updating docs as appropriate.

Rich Trott fe4d53df51 doc: move Usage and Example to same header level
Having Example under Usage in synopsis.md is misleading. That suggests
that the examples will be examples of the CLI usage, but the example
section is mostly about writing a simple web server. Ideally, the Usage
section should be moved to cli.md and the Example section should
constitute a Getting Started or Quick Start page. But for now, make them
equals under a combined header so that the Table of Contents and the
header/layout of the page is not confusing or misleading.
