Summary:
- Complete the "project" -> "book" stuff. This is cleaner conceptually and keeps us from having yet another meaning for the word "project".
- Normalize symbols during atomization. This simplifies publishing a great deal, and allows static documentation to link to dynamic documentation and vice versa, because the canonical names of symbols are agreed upon (we can tweak the actual algorithm).
- Give articles a specifiable name distinct from the title, and default to something like "support" instead of "Get Help! Get Support!" so URIs end up more readable (not "Get_Help!_Get_Support!").
- Have the atomizers set book information on atoms.
- Implement very basic publishers. Publishers are basically glue code between the atomization process and the rendering process -- the two we'll have initially are "static" (publish to files on disk) and "phabricator" (or similar -- publish into the database).
- Handle duplicate symbol definitions in the atomize and publish pipelines. This fixes the issue where a project defines two functions named "idx()" and we currently tell them not to do that and break. Realistically, this is common in the real world and we should just roll our eyes and do the legwork to generate documentation as best we can.
- Particularly, dirty all atoms with the same name as a dirty atom (e.g., if 'function f()' is updated, regnerate the documentation for all functions named f() in the book).
- When publishing, we publish these at "function/f/@1", "function/f/@2". The base page will offer to disambiguate ("There are 8 functions named 'f' in this codebase, which one do you want?").
- Implement a very very basic renderer. This generates the actual HTML (or text, or XML, or whatever else) for the documentation, which the publisher dumps onto disk or into a database or whatever.
- The atomize workflow actually needs to depend on books, at least sort of, so make it load config and use it properly.
- Propagate multilevel dirties through the graph. If "C extends B" and "B extends A", we should regenerate C when A changes. Prior to this diff, we would regnerate B only.
Test Plan: Generated some documentation. Named two articles "feedback", generated docs, saw "article/feedback/@1/" and "article/feedback/@2/" created.

Summary:
I want to allow a single project to generate multiple "books" of documentation, so we can separate user-facing documentation from technical documentation and such.
Generalize the ".divinerconfig" file into a "diviner book" configuration file.
Since only the "generate" workflow actually reads any of this stuff, move it all down into the generate workflow.
Also, namespace the cache.
Test Plan: Ran `bin/diviner generate --book src/docs/user.book`, saw appropriate output. Verified cache generated in a namespace in `.divinercache/`.

Summary:
This implements most/all of the difficult parts of Diviner on top of Phabricator instead of as standalone components. See T988. In particular, here are the things I want to fix:
**Performance** The Diviner parser works in two stages. The first stage breaks source files into "Atoms". The second stage renders atoms into a display format (e.g., HTML). Diviner currently has a good caching story on the first step of the pipeline, but zero caching in the second step. This means it's very slow, even for a fairly small project like Phabricator. We must re-render every piece of documentation every time, instead of only changed documentation. Most of this diff concerns itself with addressing this problem. There's a fairly large explanatory comment about it, but the trickiest part is that when an atom changes, other atoms (defined in other places) may also change -- for example, if `class B extends A`, editing A should dirty B, even if B is in an entirely different file. We perform analysis in two stages to propagate these changes: first detecting direct changes, then detecting indirect changes. This isn't completely implemented -- we need to propagate 'extends' through more levels -- but I believe it's structurally correct and good enough until we actually document classes.
**Inheritance** Diviner currently has a very weak story on inheritance. I want to inherit a lot more metas/docs. If an interface documents a method, we should just pull that documentation in to every implementation by default (implementations can still override it if they want). It can be shown in grey or something, but it should be desirable and correct to omit documentation of a method implementation when you are implementing a parent. Similarly, I want to pull in inherited methods and @tasks and such. This diff sets up for that, by formalizing "extends" relationships between atoms.
**Overspecialization** Diviner currently specializes atoms (FileAtom, FunctionAtom, ClassAtom, etc.). This is pretty much not useful, because Atomizers (which produce the atoms) need to be highly specialized, and Renderers/Publishers (which consume the atoms) also need to be highly specialized. Nothing interesting actually lives in the atom specializations, and we don't benefit from having them -- it just costs us generality in storage/caches for them. In the new code, I've used a single Atom class to represent any type of atom.
**URIs** We have fairly hideous URIs right now, which are very cumbersome For in-app doc links, I want to provide nice URIs ("/h/notfications" or similar) which are stable redirects, and probably add remarkup for it: !{notifications} or similar. This diff isn't related to that since it's too premature.
**Search** Once we have a database generation target, we can index the documentation.
**Design** Chad has some nice mocks.
Test Plan: Ran `bin/diviner generate`, `bin/diviner generate --clean`. Saw appropriate graph propagation after edits. This diff doesn't do anything very useful yet.
