96752afa4d Make struct maps indistinguishable from maps to Elvish code.
Struct map is a mechanism to let Go code expose simple structs to Elvish code.
The difference between struct maps and maps is convenience for Go code; they
also have different performance characteristics, but since struct maps are
always quite small, the difference is not meaningful for Elvish's use cases.

As a result, there is no good reason that Elvish code needs to be aware of the
difference between struct maps and normal maps. Making them indistinguishable to
Elvish code simplifies the language.

This commit does the following:

- Change Equal, Hash, Kind and Repr to treat struct maps like maps.

- Change Assoc and Dissoc to "promote" struct maps to maps.

- Remove the custom Repr method of parse.Source.

- Update documentation to reflect this change.

980cf009ca Parse comment blocks preceding var and fn declarations as doc comments.
Convert all .elv files (including .d.elv files) to use this new format.

a3f4384495 Move all elvdocs into .d.elv files.
The elvdocs still use the old format (#elvdoc:fn or #elvdoc:var) for now, but
will be changed to "fn" and "var" forms soon.

Also remove the accidentally committed cmd/mvelvdoc. It has been used to perform
the conversion automatically but is not supposed to be committed.
