denort is an optimization to "deno compile" to produce slightly smaller
output. It's a decent idea, but causes a lot of negative side-effects:
- Deno's link time is a source of constant agony both locally and in CI,
denort doubles link time.
- The release process is a long and arduous undertaking with many manual
steps. denort necessitates an additional manual zip + upload from M1
apple computers.
- The "deno compile" interface is complicated with the "--lite" option.
This is confusing for uses ("why wouldn't you want lite?").
The benefits of this feature do not outweigh the negatives. We must find
a different approach to optimizing "deno compile" output.
This commit adds new binary target called "denort".
It is a "lite" version of "deno" binary that can only execute
code embedded inside the binary itself.

- Add more support for generics
- Add the --private flag - displays documentation for
not exported and private nodes
- Display more attributes like abstract, static and readonly
- Display type aliases
- Refactor module to use the Display trait
- Use a bit more color
This ensures the deno executable is properly created before running the integration tests.
Also allows deno_cli to be used as a lib. Docs are now properly generated: https://docs.rs/deno_cli/0.18.4/deno_cli/
