clarify the example presented where multiple REPL
instances are run in the same process by:
- making its title unambiguous
- clarifying that they share the same `global` object
(which currently is a bit ambiguous/half implied)
- making sure that they do share the same `global`
object (via `useGlobal` set to `true`)
- they delete the unix socket if present
(so that people running the code twice don't get
confused/annoyed that the second time it doesn't
properly work)

The current examples presented at the bottom
of the REPL doc have two issues:
- they look like they're part of the section
above (on how to run multiple REPL instances
in the same process) but they are not
- the alert informing readers not to use the
second example in production environments
can be wrongly interpreted as to refer to
both examples
The changes here address both these issues

We had a few code snippets that were using a non-descriptive tag (e.g.
`console` or `text`), whereas the actual language it's using describes
it better, and improves the syntax highlighting. This commit also
removes non-necessary leading chars (e.g. `$`, `>`, or `%`) to make it
easier for readers to copy and paste to try the command themselves.

Main changes:
- Replace current HTML anchor generation to match
header anchor generation in Github markdown.
- Remove unnecessary double namespacing on generated anchors/links (E.G.
`esm.md#loaders` instead of `esm.md#esm_loaders`).
- Anchors/links are automatically prefixed with their respective modules
when concatenated for usage in `all.html`.
Benefits:
- All anchor links within and between markdown API docs actually work.
- Adding new anchor links no longer requires contributors to generate
the HTML docs first to look up the correct anchors.
- Anchors are much shorter.
- All previous anchor links are preserved by generating hidden legacy
anchors.

Throughout the docs, we sometimes write the possessive of _Node.js_ as
_Node.js'_ and other times as _Node.js's_. The former conforms with some
generally accepted style guides (e.g., Associated Press Stylebook) while
the latter complies with others (e.g., Chicago Manual of Style).
Since there is no clear authoritative answer as to which form is
correct, and since (at least to me) both are visually jarring and
sometimes cause a pause to understand, I'd like to reword things to
eliminate the possessive form where possible.
This is one of those examples.

Add a reverse search that works similar to the ZSH one. It is
triggered with <ctrl> + r and <ctrl> + s. It skips duplicated history
entries and works with multiline statements. Matching entries indicate
the search parameter with an underscore and cancelling with <ctrl> + c
or escape brings back the original line.
Multiple matches in a single history entry work as well and are
matched in the order of the current search direction. The cursor is
positioned at the current match position of the history entry.
Changing the direction immediately checks for the next entry in the
expected direction from the current position on.
Entries are accepted as soon any button is pressed that doesn't
correspond with the reverse search.
The behavior is deactivated for simple terminals. They do not support
most ANSI escape codes that are necessary for this feature.
