docs: validate that the docs can be parsed by mdx

Although our documentation is rendered for the "in the box" docs by
cmark-gfm, the upstream docs site (docs.npmjs.com) uses mdx, which is
a much stricter parser.  Update our docs generator site to ensure that
mdx can parse our documentation as well, to ensure that we get fast
feedback when it would fail.
