A few minor adjustments:
- Added a note about the job type being third-party, and what that implies.
- Removed the need to use Git or the mention of symlinks, to simplify
installation instructions.
- Fixed a few markup issues.
Additions to the documentation:
- Page for collecting custom job types, with multi-pass job type.
- BAT Pack Error Message solution on Windows.
- Clarificationof two-way variable usage in jobs.

The support is still fairly minimal. Clusters cannot be managed via the
webapp yet, so the API has to be used directly for that. Workers can be
assigned to clusters via the webapp though.
Brave (and maybe other browseres) refuse to set the 'User-Agent' header
in XMLHTTPRequests, and are vocal about this in the debug log. Since the
OpenAPI code generator always outputs a custom 'User-Agent' header, I've
added some JS code to strip that off when constructing an API client.
Fetching a non-existent job can happen due to the asynchronous nature
of the webapp, when a job was just deleted. It now no longer complains
about this in the JS debug console.
Setting the height of a Tabulator can trigger all kinds of things,
including some buggy behaviour where all the jobs would disappear from
screen. Just don't do it unless it's necessary.
Upgrade Tabulator, hopefully this fixes some issues where the job list
would show black (no items shown, but the scrollbar is still there as if
all the items still exist; scrolling up & down would fix it).
- Add a little confirmation overlay before deleting a job. This overlay
also shows information about whether the Shaman checkout directory
will be deleted or not.
- Send job updates to the web frontend when jobs are marked for
deletion, and when they are actually deleted.
- Respond to those updates, and handle some corner cases where job info
is missing (because it just got deleted).
This closes T99401.
Show jobs that have been marked for deletion with a red strike-through
line in the jobs table, and show the deletion-request timestamp in the
job details.
Expand the 'Variables' page so that it links to the two-way variables
page from within the body of text. Having the link in only the side-bar
was too easy to miss.
Move the "Custom Job Types" expandable section to its own, normal
section.
The expandable sections in the docs aren't that clear, visually. It's
easy to miss that they can be expanded. This was the only use of this
feature.
Remove the "what is new" link, because it's not that relevant for a quick-
start page. Also it got lost a bit between the videos and felt out of
place.
