Generate Scaladoc

[kubukoz]

Originally mentioned in #245 : the @deprecated trait should generate a @deprecated annotation in the Scala code, and the @documentation / @externalDocumentation traits should result in some Scaladoc being generated.

I wholefully agree with this

Started some work on the deprecations part of this.

This looks like "fun" good-first-issue. If my noobie questions aren't too much hassle, I'll gladly pick this up.
#599 should provide some tips on how to implement scaladoc in the codegen no?

I believe something like this:

• Add a case classDocumentation which extends Hint to the IR
• Then add a way to render scaladocs in Renderer

I think you got that right! Good luck and don't hesitate to reach out here or on Discord if you need assistance

And thanks, really

yeah, I think you can draw some inspiration from #599. I left some hints for working on codegen code here, might be useful for a good feedback loop: #496 (comment)

I believe something like this:

that sounds about right

Mostly closed in #731, with some new tickets spawned to further improve this. Thanks @zetashift!
