Akos Kiss 00f93bc287 Add support for doctests (#1909)
Markdown files in the docs/ directory can now be annotated to turn
fenced C code blocks into unit tests. The recognized syntax is:

    [doctest]: # (name="test.c", test="run")

    ```c
    // unit test code
    ```

The commit also fixes the issues revealed during the initial
annotation.

# Autorelease values
## JERRYX_AR_VALUE_T
**Summary**
Macro for `const jerry_value_t` for which jerry_release_value() is
automatically called when the variable goes out of scope.
*Note*: The macro depends on compiler support. For GCC and LLVM/clang, the macro is implemented
using the `__cleanup__` variable attribute. For other compilers, no support has been added yet.
**Example**
[doctest]: # (test="compile")
```c
#include "jerryscript.h"
#include "jerryscript-ext/autorelease.h"
static void
foo (bool enable)
{
JERRYX_AR_VALUE_T bar = jerry_create_string ((const jerry_char_t *) "...");
if (enable)
{
JERRYX_AR_VALUE_T baz = jerry_get_global_object ();
/* bar and baz can now be used. */
/*
* jerry_release_value (baz) and jerry_release_value (bar) is called automatically before
* returning, because `baz` and `bar` go out of scope.
*/
return;
}
/*
* jerry_release_value (bar) is called automatically when the function returns,
* because `bar` goes out of scope.
*/
}
```
