Qyriad c355354772 docs: replace sed invocation with an mdbook preprocessor for @docroot@
We're not entirely clear on why the links preprocessor has to be done
*before* rather than after, but we assume it is probably that as a
builtin preprocessor it does some processing on the raw book source,
and not just the JSON data.

Also a real use for Python pattern matching? I know I was surprised too.
