Summary

Migrates API docs fromautodoc tomkdocstrings. I was hoping to be able to use an httpx inventory file in some documentation and noticed there seems to be interest in it from the attached issue so tried sending a PR.

I have made tweaks such as to the CSS to make it as close to the current site as possible. Though it could also make sense to have the full TOC.

The biggest difference in rendering is the docs don't have a inlet and are rendered directly. There are some other differences like font size and not showing the wordclass (mkdocstrings may allow it in the future as they have an insiders-only feature for it right now).

I did leave the source code previews since while very different from current, being collapsed they seemed safe to keep.

To really render using mkdocstrings, i.e. rendering out parameters in a structured way, the docstrings themselves would need to be updated to one of the supported styles like Google, numpy, or sphinx. This PR doesn't change that though to be smaller and still be quite close to what's already there, while also providing the inventory file.

To test, I run

uv run --with mkdocs --with mkdocs-material --with mkautodoc --with 'mkdocstrings[python]' mkdocs buildopen site/index.html

Fixes#3145
