feat(docs): Support cross language "auto links" (#5699)

Introduces a syntax for cross-reference links that work across language
and change behavior depending on which scope they appear in.


```markdown
@[interrupt]

:::python
@[StateGraph]
:::

:::js
@[create_react_agent]
:::

```

Can be compiled to

```markdown

# a link that changes based on global context or compile target
<div> ... </div>  -> `interrupt` in global context

:::python
[StateGraph](link to python cross reference)
:::

:::js
[create_react_agent](link to js cross reference)
:::
```



TODO:

- [x] fix broken unit test
- [x] no f strings in logger (it's a sin)
- [x] remove cross-refs.txt (we'll instead start updating the cross link
map)

"""Logic to identify and transform cross-reference links in markdown files.
This module allows supporting custom markdown syntax for "autolinks". These are links
that will be transformed based on the current scope context, such as "global", "python",
or "js" into an appropriate markdown link format.
For example,
```markdown
@[StateGraph]
```
May be transformed into:
```markdown
[StateGraph](some_path/api-reference/state-graph.md)
```
The transformation value depends on the scope in which the link is used.
