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.

Making a NAND Backup

In case anything should go wrong in the later process and your Wii U ends up bricked, restoring a previously made NAND backup can fix it.

Instructions

::: tip

The Wii U MLC is (depending on your model) either 8GB or 32GB. As a result of this, to create a full backup of your console's NAND, your SD Card has to be larger than the size of your MLC. If you do not have a large enough SD Card, you can skip the optional MLC section which includes save files and game data and is not needed to recover any type of brick.

:::

::: tip

Restoring a NAND Backup on the Wii U requires ISFShax or additional hardware and microsoldering skills.

However, making a NAND Backup is always useful, so please do not skip it.

Your NAND Backup is unique to your system. Backups from other consoles won't work without the required knowledge.

:::

  1. Navigate to nanddumper using the GamePad and press A to launch it.
  2. Use the Wii U GamePad's D-Pad to enter the following configuration: SLC: Yes, SLCCMPT: Yes, MLC: Yes or No, OTP: Yes, SEEPROM: Yes
    • MLC is OPTIONAL, if you do not want to dump it, leave it on No. If you do want to dump it, make sure you have a SD Card big enough for it and put it on Yes.
  3. Press the A button to start the dumping process.
  4. When the process is completed, power off your Wii U, take your SD Card out of the Wii U and plug it into your PC.
  5. To make sure you don't lose the files, copy the slc.bin, slccmpt.bin, seeprom.bin, otp.bin (and if you chose to go with a full backup, every mlc.bin.part file) to somewhere safe (Documents, Google Drive, OneDrive, etc.) on your computer.
    • They will appear on the root of the SD Card.
  6. Delete the files you just copied from your SD Card to free up space.
