Wez Furlong 42bf5c5e61 docs: adjust reference to improve search terms
We've been hoping that mkdocs-material will ship the much anticipated
search enhancements for some time, but it's time to recognize that
we need to do something to improve the search results with how
things work right now.

This is a big commit that changes the titles of the various pages
from the code-annotated synopsis to just the name of the function.

This makes it much easier now to match things like `kumo.reject`
directly, but `reject` remains awkward to find.

I think this is the best that we can do at this time.

A few functions have been annotated with the `status: deprecated` to
show as deprecated in the toc/nav (shows with a little trash can next
to the name).

# import_x_headers
```
message:import_x_headers([NAMES])
```
When called with no parameters, iterates the headers of the message, and for
each header with an `"X-"` prefix, imports the header into the message
metadata.
When called with a list of header names, only those headers, if present in the
message, will be imported to the message metadata. Header names passed in this
way do not need to have an `X-` prefix, making it convenient to use this method
as a way to import an arbitrary list of headers for logging purposes.
When importing an `X-` header, the header name is normalized to lowercase and any
`-` are transformed to underscores `_`.
For example, with a message content of:
```
X-Campaign-ID: 12345
X-Mailer: foobar
Subject: the subject
The body
```
calling:
```lua
message:import_x_headers()
print(message:get_meta 'x_campaign_id') -- prints 12345
print(message:get_meta 'x_mailer') -- prints foobar
```
but calling:
```lua
message:import_x_headers { 'x-campaign-id' }
print(message:get_meta 'x_campaign_id') -- prints 12345
print(message:get_meta 'x_mailer') -- prints nothing
```
