The "Adding a new compiler to the live site" section was outdated,
referencing deprecated bash scripts in update_compilers/ directory.
Updated to reference the current YAML-based configuration system:
- References ce_install tool instead of old scripts
- Points to bin/yaml/*.yaml configuration files
- Links to infra repo documentation (ce_install_yaml.md,
installing_compilers.md)
- Provides concrete installation command examples
- Updates terminology (non-free instead of install_nonfree_compilers.sh)

This PR adds a detailed Configuration.md document that comprehensively
explains the Compiler Explorer configuration system. It covers:
- Configuration file structure and hierarchical loading
- Property types and automatic conversions
- List separators and specialized formats
- Group inheritance and compiler configuration
- Variable substitution mechanisms
- Advanced features like remote compilers and property debugging
Additionally, it updates all related documentation to reference this
central document for configuration details, reducing duplication and
ensuring consistency.
This document will serve as the foundation for future configuration
system improvements by providing clear documentation of the current
implementation.
[ORCA/C](https://github.com/byteworksinc/ORCA-C) is a C compiler that
natively runs on and targets the Apple IIGS. ORCA/C and the programs it
generates can be run on modern Linux systems by using an emulation tool
called [Golden Gate](https://goldengate.gitlab.io).
This adds support for ORCA/C (run via Golden Gate) in Compiler Explorer.
It uses its own assembly format and objdumper (provided by Golden Gate),
so support for those is added. An extra configuration option was also
added to support execution via an emulator, bypassing the usual check
that executables can run natively. Asm docs for the WDC 65C816 processor
were also added.
ORCA/C and Golden Gate are not Free Software, but their rights holders
have given permission for them to be used on Compiler Explorer. Tarballs
for them can be supplied privately. See infra PR:

While reading the (excellent) documentation here, I noticed a few stale
references to `.js` files that are now implemented in TypeScript.
* Update `*.js` to `*.ts` in Markdown documentation.
* Update `app.js` to `out/dist/app.js` in
`docs/SystemdSocketActivation.md`.
_I managed to follow these instructions and locally run Compiler
Explorer through socket activation after that change._
* Update `*.js` to `*.ts` in the GitHub labeller config
`.github/labeler.yml`.
_Also correct some misnamed files here. I have checked the new version
with `ls $(grep -E "^ - " .github/labeler.yml | sed "s/ - //g")`. If I
were more familiar here, I would have liked to add a similar check to
the automated tests._
- Sheepishly add myself to the contributors list, despite this being a
tiny find-and-replace change.

Some toolchains require passing non-standard, mandatory arguments to the
CLI tools in order to execute them (configuring licenses, selecting CPU
targets, etc.). This PR allows configuring extra command-line arguments
for the demangler, object dumper and the execution wrapper. The version
flag argument has been refactored into an array, so that more than one
argument can be passed, if necessary.
The changes are fully backwards compatible.

* The Grand Reformat
- everything made prettier...literally
- some tweaks to include a few more files, including documentation
- minor changes to format style
- some tiny `// prettier-ignore` changes to keep a few things the way we like them
- a couple of super minor tweaks to embedded document types to ensure they format correctly
