Emanuele Torre c049061084 Fix build_manpage.py with newer markdown versions
The markdown python changed its API for markdown extensions.

Bumping the markdown package version in previous commits broke
docs/build_manpage.py since it was using registering an extension with
the old API.

Documentation

The jq website, manpages and some of the tests are generated from this directory. The manual is a YAML file in content/manual.

To build the documentation (including building the jq manpage), you'll need python3 and pipenv. You can install pipenv like so:

pip install pipenv

Though, you may need to say pip3 instead, depending on your system. Once you have pipenv installed, you can install the dependencies by running pipenv install from the docs directory.

Also, you may need to run virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 venv/ and then source venv/bin/activate, and only then pipenv install.

Once this is done, rerun ./configure in the jq root directory and then the Makefile will be able to generate the jq manpage. You can also just run pipenv run build_manpage.py in the docs directory to build the jq.1 page manually, and pipenv run build_mantests.py to build the contents of tests/man.test.

To build the website, run pipenv run ./build_website.py from inside the docs directory.
