Add VitePress to the Repository

[Mateleo]

This PR introduces VitePress as the documentation tool for the repository. I believe it's a good choice for its simplicity, speed, and Markdown-first approach, which aligns perfectly with our needs for documenting the Generals & Zero Hour community project.

What's Changed

• Added VitePress configuration and setup.
• Created a basic homepage.
• Marmaid support as requested by @tintinhamans
• No conflicts with main !

Things you need to know

the _Footer and _Navbar files are not used, I hardcoded the contents of these files myself. Everything can be modified in .vitepress/config.mts.

How to Test

You will need pnpm

1. Install dependencies: pnpm i
2. run the project: npm run dev

How does this compare to what we have now? Is it a theme that changes the layout? Does it work out of the box on github once we merge it?

[Mateleo]

@roossienb Sorry I'm a bit out of the loop rn. Vitepress is a way to create beautiful documentation sites with markdown files. It's just a super-quick and pretty way to have a wiki website.

Is it something you would be willing to put time in and maintain?

[Mateleo]

@roossienb Yes it was my goal. But first I need to be sure of the objectives and the need. You want a site to display the documentation? Something extra/special?

At this point not super clear where the wiki is heading.
For one, they are two wiki's (one for generalsgamecode and one for generalsgamepatch ( = assets)

The generalsgamecode consists of information about

• compiling the application yourself
• contributing to the development process (e.g. testing)
• documentation of the application (like debug hotkeys or -- soon to be added - command line arguments and new ini options)

In the future, it may as well contain more user facing information.
