Motivation:
Up until recently, it has not been possible to regression check our
documentation. However, in recent releases of the DocC plugin it has
become possible to make warnings into errors, making it possible for us
to CI our docs.
This patch adds support for doing that, and also cleans up our
documentation so that it successfully passes the check.
Along the way I accidentally wrote an `index.md` for `NIOCore` so I
figure we may as well keep it.
Modifications:
- Structure the documentation for NIOCore
- Fix up DocC issues
- Add `check-docs.sh` script to check the docs cleanly build
- Wire things up to our docker-compose scripts.
Result:
We can CI our docs.

Motivation:
Channels can read `ChannelOptions.maxMessagesPerRead` times from a
socket in each read cycle. They typically re-use the same buffer for
each read and rely on it CoWing if necessary. If we read more than once
in a cycle then we may CoW the buffer. Instead of reusing one buffer we
can reuse a pool of buffers limited by `maxMessagesPerRead` and cycle
through each, reducing the chance of CoWing the buffers.
Modifications:
- Extend `RecvByteBufferAllocator` to provide the size of the next
buffer with a default implementation returning `nil`.
- Add an recv buffer pool which lazily grows up to a fixed size and
attempts to reuse buffers where possible if doing so avoids CoWing.
Results:
Fewer allocations
Motivation:
Currently, NIOLock and NIOLockedValueBox incur unnecessary allocation and indirection costs.
Modifications:
Create namespace LockOperations for organization
Create LockStorage<Value>, a subclass of ManagedBuffer<LockPrimitive, Value>
Store the mutex as the header and the generic value as the first and only element
Update NIOLock and NIOLockedValueBox to use LockStorage
Result:
Optimal lock and value memory layout
Fewer allocations and less indirection
Code generation is excellent
# Motivation
We landed the async bridge types a while back but never added allocation and performance tests. Since we expect these types to be used performance critical paths we really should cover those with tests.
# Modification
Extends the allocation counter scaffolding to support async tests. Furthermore, add allocations tests for both the writer and producer. Lastly, I a also added a performance test for the producer.
# Result
We now have baseline tests for the `NIOAsyncWriter` and `NIOAsyncSequenceProducer`

Motivation:
SwiftNIO periodically drops support for older Swift versions. Now that
5.7 has been released, 5.4 will be dropped.
Modifications:
- Remove 5.4 specific Package.swift and docker-compose
- Update the 5.7 docker-compose to use the released 5.7 and move from
focal (2004) to jammy (2204)
- Remove unused swiftformat from Dockerfile
- Update tools version in syscall wrapper tests to 5.5
- Update docs
Results:
Minimum Swift version is 5.5
