A broken xref in the tap page shipped in 2.0.0 and went unnoticed for two months, because nothing verifies the Antora sources. This adds a small dependency-free checker that walks the pages and nav, errors on xrefs to missing pages and on missing images, and warns on fragments it can't find (the auto-generated section ids are approximated, and a handful of existing fragments already don't match). A Docs workflow runs it on pushes to master and on pull requests that touch the manual.
Add docs-check, test-ts and test-under-ts so the checks CI runs can be reproduced locally without reading the workflow, list test in .PHONY, and byte-compile before running the unit tests in the default target.
The playbook sets idprefix to nothing and idseparator to a dash, so the checker approximated auto ids with the wrong shape and warned about eight fragments that resolve fine. With the site's settings it warns about the two that are actually broken.

Adds a small checker for the manual's
xref:andimage:targets, wired into a Docs workflow, plus Makefile targets mirroring the CI steps (docs-check,test-ts,test-under-ts). On master it reports exactly one error, the tap page's xref to a nonexistent inspector page that #4183 fixes, and eight pre-existing fragment mismatches as warnings.
