VitePress migration (#237)
* Remove docsify.js files

* treewide: Remove obsolete pages and files

- These are no longer used, no longer recommended, and no longer have a
  reason to stay in the guide.
- Of note are the vWii contents, which now live in wii.hacks.guide.

* translations: drop all languages

The migration will break all of them, so it's best to let it get
regenerated by Crowdin.

This also deletes leftover files that don't exist in the main guide.

* Initialize VitePress

- Add theme submodule
- Add initial configuration files
- Override theme-default VPFooter with custom theme version

* docs: port to VitePress

* config: add sidebar/navbar and initial translation support

* config: add footer

* workflow: add VitePress build steps

* crowdin: move to VitePress

* config: add favicon

* config: add GitHub link to navbar

* config: add Discord invite to navbar

* LICENSE: update for VitePress

While the docs are licensed under ISC, the theme is licensed under
MIT. Explicitly specify this.

* Add dependabot configs for npm

* config: add support for `default` keyword in tabs

Specifying `tab default` will allow defaulting to this tab on page
load.

* docs: conditionally enable the prev/next buttons

These only make sense in the Aroma pages; the rest aren't chronological
paths.

* homepage: add custom homepage hero implementation

This retires the old logo, and brings in Plailect's old Wii U guide
image.

Blocking Updates

All currently known Wii U exploits can, unlike e.g. the Nintendo Switch RCM exploit, be patched by a system update. Although the Wii U is no longer officially supported, Nintendo may still release updates for it. Namely, the updates 5.5.3 up to 5.5.6 were all released after the Wii U was discontinued, so blocking updates is still a recommended action.

While Aroma's PayloadLoader already has built-in update blocking functionality, it is recommended to delete the update folder to effectively block system updates. If you get a yellow warning screen while booting into Aroma, the update folder still exists and it is recommended to delete it using the guide below.

Instructions

Currently, one way exists to effectively block updates on the Wii U system:

  1. Make sure you have the latest Aroma beta.
  2. Boot into Aroma.
    • If you got the yellow warning screen, press X to block updates.
    • If you didn't get the warning, but the AutobootMenu says "Updates not blocked!", press and hold + (Plus) and - (Minus) at the same time until it says they are blocked.
