Move PX4 Guide source into /docs (#24490)
* Add vitepress tree

* Update existing workflows so they dont trigger on changes in the docs path

* Add nojekyll, package.json, LICENCE etc

* Add crowdin docs upload/download scripts

* Add docs flaw checker workflows

* Used docs prefix for docs workflows

* Crowdin obvious fixes

* ci: docs move to self hosted runner

runs on a beefy server for faster builds

# Modules Reference: Simulation
## simulator_sih
Source: [modules/simulation/simulator_sih](https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot/tree/main/src/modules/simulation/simulator_sih)
### Description
This module provides a simulator for quadrotors and fixed-wings running fully
inside the hardware autopilot.
This simulator subscribes to "actuator_outputs" which are the actuator pwm
signals given by the control allocation module.
This simulator publishes the sensors signals corrupted with realistic noise
in order to incorporate the state estimator in the loop.
### Implementation
The simulator implements the equations of motion using matrix algebra.
Quaternion representation is used for the attitude.
Forward Euler is used for integration.
Most of the variables are declared global in the .hpp file to avoid stack overflow.
