doc: Make HTML ids discoverable

In the HTML output, this decorates section headers and variable list
terms with a marker ("#") that is a link to the same section/term.
That way, links inside a page can be discovered for easier sharing.
The marker only appears when hovering.

This now requires that all elements that are candidates for such a
link have an id attribute.  Otherwise, an error will be generated.
All previously missing ids have been added prior to this patch.
