Remove Settings.GeneratorType from every page
TemplateType alone decides which generator runs in v4. The pairing tables and assignments go, the upgrade
guide lists it as the tenth removed setting, and the settings index is regenerated.

Add the scaffolder comparison and the JetBrains Rider page
The comparison sets this generator against dotnet ef dbcontext scaffold with generated, drift-checked
samples. The Rider page covers setup without the extension and the differences from Visual Studio. Home,
the sidebar and the upgrade guide link to them; the upgrade guide now leads with the right-click command.

Remove the pages for features v4 dropped
Multi-context generation, file-based templates and the custom generator were removed before the v4
release. Their five pages go; the upgrade page gains a Removed in v4 section saying what went, why,
and that v3 stays downloadable. The page that also documented FileExtension and GenerationLanguage
becomes Settings.FileExtension, and Settings-Reference is regenerated.

Complete the per-setting pages, and turn Settings-Reference into the index
Twenty more pages, covering the settings that were left. All 118
settings on Settings now have a page, and Settings-Reference.md is a
generated A-Z table linking each name to it.
Settings that are always set together share a page: the five class
modifier settings, the two collection settings, the three connection
string settings, the folder settings, the namespace settings, the enum
settings, the four MultiContextAllFields callbacks, and the read-only
runtime values. The index links every setting name, so the reader never
needs to know which page a setting lives on.
Filtering gains generated before-and-after output for IncludeViews, and
RowVersion-and-TimeStamp-columns gains the generated entity, both
checked by the drift test like the rest.
The sidebar now points at the index rather than listing pages, and
Settings-Callbacks keeps its pipeline overview above links to the
individual callback pages.

Update documentation for v4
Database pages: PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle and SQLite were entirely GAC and
machine.config setup instructions, and MySQL and Oracle still said "under
development". Replaced with dialect guides covering connection strings,
permissions, what the reader supports, type mapping and quirks. Each opens by
telling v3 users to undo the GAC and machine.config changes. Added a SQL Server
page for symmetry.
ConnectionString: expanded from the environment variable note to worked
examples for all five databases (Azure and Entra ID, RDS, PlanetScale, TNS and
wallets, sockets), a per-database permissions table, the SET FMTONLY execute
requirement, and three ways to keep the string out of source control.
Home: SQL Server CE was listed as fully supported, MySQL and Oracle as under
development, Plugin as available, and Settings.FileManagerType appeared in all
four recommended-settings blocks. The Quick Start never mentioned installing
the efrpg tool, so anyone following it on v4 failed immediately. Fixed, and
added an index of the rest of the wiki.
Removed the settings that no longer exist from Common Settings Types Explained
and Settings Reference: DatabaseType.SqlCe, DatabaseType.Plugin,
Settings.DatabaseReaderPlugin and Settings.FileManagerType. Updated stale
EF.Reverse.POCO.v3.ttinclude references in five pages.
Fixed pre-existing broken cross-links: three pages linked to
Custom-file-based-templates when the page name contains U+2010, Migrations
linked to "scripty" rather than "script", and seven links had case mismatches.
Renamed Syntax-Colour-*.TT-and-*.TTINCLUDE-files to Syntax-Colour-for-T4. The
asterisks are illegal in an NTFS filename, so the wiki could not be cloned or
pulled on Windows without disabling core.protectNTFS.
Deleted Upgrading-from-v2-to-v3, superseded by Upgrading-from-v3-to-v4.
Added _Sidebar for navigation.
