Re `cast` vs. `stringToNatOrZ` in the chapter 5 tip:
`cast` from `String` to `Nat` does work in Idris 2, version 0.6.0-a75161cb2, so the first sentence is not currently correct, and there is no change needed to make the code work.
In the Discord documentation channel, z_snail suggested changing the text to merely recommend changing `cast` to `stringToNatOrZ`. This PR proposes that change. I tried to change the text as little as possible, but I made some additional, strictly speaking unnecessary revisions, where I thought they would make the wording clearer given the essential changes. I added a missing period as well.
(If the `cast` from `String` to `Nat` is destined to be removed, perhaps this PR should be ignored.)
The instructions for the exercises at the end of section 5.3.4 list several file-handling functions needed for the exercises. They were in the Prelude, but now are in `System.File.Handle` and `System.File.ReadWrite`, and I added a note about that. (`import System.File` would work for the exercise code, but the docs aren't there, so I didn't mention that. I also didn't mention there a few other definitions, in other modules, that one needs to look up to understand the functions that the book lists. I think that figuring out that one needs to find those additional docs is supposed to be part of the exercise.)
readNumber_v2 should be readNumbers_v2. I also added a remark pointing to the corresponding function definition in the book, for people who prefer to type in the definitions themselves (like me) rather than using the source files in the repo.
There's another issue with the chapter 5 tips, but I'm not sure what the right fix is, so I'll submit an issue.
* Add documentation on javascript FFIs and packaging of JS or C support files.
* Add to changelog.
* line length
* add some detail about the install directories for packages.
Also updated test real002 to use the actual Control.App from
libs/base/Control/App.idr. Before it was using a different version that
existed within its test directory, tests/idris2/real002/Control/App.idr
* Print the bound ide mode socket instead of the configuration variable.
* Change --ide-mode-socket to choose an open socket instead of using 38398
* [ doc ] Documentation for starting ide-mode
This is (for once) not a breaking changes, instead backends will need to opt in to this change, using the utilities in Compiler.NoMangle. See the js backend for an example of how to do this.
This is the first step to being able to use idris to create libraries usable by other languages.

* Update version numbers and bootstrap scheme
* Use wall clock time for search timeouts
That was always the intention in any case, rather than the process time.
* Update strings.rst
For some reasons the code blocks which are not set as 'idris' are not displayed in the readthedocs rendering.
* Update overloadedlit.rst
* Update overloadedlit.rst
We had a lot of things missing here, and the contributing guidelines
were extremely out of date and reflected the state when I first made the
Idris 2 repo public. I've updated both to reflect the current state of
the way we work, and to give better guidelines about what will be most
helpful.
