refactor!: rework docs and doc command (#218) changes the actual file format of docs to markup since that's basically what we have been using in the first place. the docgen command has been modified to write markdown headings with the function name and yaml metadata for easy consumption by hugo for the website. all other docs have been moved to markdown as well this is the main reason this is a "breaking" change users will have to reinstall hilbish (task uninstall and task install) to remove the old plaintext docs

### Properties
- `cmd`: The user entered command string for the job.
- `running`: Whether the job is running or not.
- `id`: The ID of the job in the job table
- `pid`: The Process ID
- `exitCode`: The last exit code of the job.
- `stdout`: The standard output of the job. This just means the normal logs of the process.
- `stderr`: The standard error stream of the process. This (usually) includes error messages of the job.
### Methods
#### background()
Puts a job in the background. This acts the same as initially running a job.
#### foreground()
Puts a job in the foreground. This will cause it to run like it was
executed normally and wait for it to complete.
#### start()
Starts running the job.
