These (and the `*MD` functions apart from `literalMD`) are now no-ops
in nixpkgs and serve no purpose other than to add additional noise and
potentially mislead people into thinking unmarked DocBook documentation
will still be accepted.
Note that if backporting changes including documentation to 23.05,
the `mdDoc` calls will need to be re-added.

This process was automated by [my fork of `nix-doc-munge`]. All
conversions were automatically checked to produce the same DocBook
result when converted back, modulo minor typographical/formatting
differences on the acceptable-to-desirable spectrum.

The NixOS variant of Markdown doesn't make a distinction between
`<code>` and `<literal>` or `<quote>` and... quotes, and doesn't
support `<parameter>` or `<replaceable>`. These are infrequently used
(apart from `<code>`) and don't add much, so just convert them to
simpler forms to allow the options containing them to be converted
to Markdown automatically.
A few minor syntactic adjustments were also made to make
`nix-doc-munge`'s job easier.
`nix-doc-munge` can't handle these, which is understandable as I can
barely handle them either. There are a few infelicities here: the
current processor can't handle multiple terms to one description in
a description list so they get comma-separated in one case, and one
case that should ideally render as a `<figure>` with a `<figcaption>`
in HTML is reduced to a paragraph with some `<strong>` text. (Which, in
fairness, is how it rendered in practice with the DocBook anyway.) The
docs generator has since been updated to handle figures, but we can't
use it until moving off DocBook output.
