As pointed out in https://github.com/denoland/deno/issues/21067 , it's
confusing that `deno doc --lint mod.ts` outputs the documentation to
stdout on success. Instead, it would be better if it outputted how many
files were checked similar to what `deno lint` does on success. It still
outputs the documentation if `--lint` or `--html` are provided so this
is non-breaking.
Adds a new `--lint` flag to `deno doc` that surfaces three kinds of
diagnostics:
1. Diagnostic for non-exported type referenced in an exported type.
* Why? People often forget to export types from a module in TypeScript.
To supress this diagnostic, add an `@internal` jsdoc tag to the internal
type.
1. Diagnostic for missing return type or missing property type on a
**public** type.
* Why? Otherwise `deno doc` will not display good documentation. Adding
explicit types also helps with type checking performance.
1. Diagnostic for missing jsdoc on a **public** type.
* Why? Everything should be documented. This diagnostic can be supressed
by adding a jsdoc comment description.
If the lint passes, `deno doc` generates documentation as usual.
For example, checking for deno doc diagnostics on the CI:
```shellsession
$ deno doc --lint mod.ts second_entrypoint.ts > /dev/null
```
This feature is incredibly useful for library authors.
## Why not include this in `deno lint`?
1. The command needs the documenation output in order to figure out the
diagnostics.
1. `deno lint` doesn't understand where the entrypoints are. That's
critical for the diagnostics to be useful.
1. It's much more performant to do this while generating documentation.
1. There is precedence in rustdoc (ex. `#![warn(missing_docs)]`).
## Why not `--check`?
It is confusing with `deno run --check`, since that means to run type
checking (and confusing with `deno check --docs`).
## Output Future Improvement
The output is not ideal atm, but it's fine for a first pass. We will
improve it in the future.

This commit adds support for multiple entry points to `deno doc`.
Unfortunately to achieve that, I had to change the semantics of the
command to explicitly require `--filter` parameter for filtering
symbols, instead of treating second free argument as the filter argument.
`deno doc --builtin` is still supported, but cannot be mixed with
actual entrypoints.
Upgrades to deno_doc 0.70 which includes the feature for showing
non-exported types referenced in exported types as well as a much more
advanced deno doc that uses a symbol graph.
