Subject: fix(docs): handle config errors, document rename #4192
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Problem:
If a config throws an error it fails the entire doc generation.

Solution:
Handle config error in docgen. Unfortunately, this doesn't show the
error message, it shows:

    loop or previous error loading module 'lsp.volar'

instead of the actual `error('…')` message.

So meanwhile, document the current deprecation/rename pattern and use
`vim.notify()` instead.
