Design format: a change is one new file, never an edit to FORMAT (#1563)

A PR that saves something new adds crates/doc/src/format/pending/<name>.rs (a note, and an upgrade step if older designs must be rewritten). The build writes the next format number while changes are pending and lists them in format_pending; scripts/fold-format-pending.sh fixes them as v<N>/ at release time. Formats 23 and 24 move into v23/ and v24/.

# Pending design-format changes
One file per change to what a design file saves that no release has shipped yet. Adding a file
here is the whole format bump: never edit `FORMAT`, `JSON_STEPS` or another change's file.
- Name it after the change, lowercase with dashes: `placed-plane-origins.rs`.
- Start it with a `//!` note: what is saved, what an older design gets without it, and what
the last release does with a design that has it (it refuses the newer format number).
- If older designs must be rewritten as they open, add the step to the same file:
```rust
//! …the note…
use serde_json::Value;
pub fn step(v: &mut Value) -> crate::Result<()> {
// rewrite the design's JSON here
Ok(())
}
```
Steps run in file-name order, after the steps of every older format.
While this folder has a change in it, the build writes the next format number (the last
folded one + 1, which no release reads), and lists the changes a file has in its
`format_pending` field, so a later build applies only the steps that file is missing. At release
time `scripts/fold-format-pending.sh` moves these files into `../v<N>/`, which fixes that number
for good. See `crates/doc/src/format.rs` and CONTRIBUTING.md.
