Migrate documentation for IfcTester and make optional deps mandatory in PyPI

I don't like this, but PyPI makes it really, really hard to "discover"
optional deps and what they're used for. So it's just easier to make it
a mandatory dependency and advanced users can always strip it out. This
stops user reports about "it doesn't work out of the box I only did pip
install ifctester"

Examples
--------
You can execute IfcTester using a CLI.
.. code-block:: console
# Validate an IFC with an IDS and report to console
python -m ifctester example.ids example.ifc
# Generate a HTML report instead
python -m ifctester example.ids example.ifc -r Html -o report.html
Alternatively, you can use Python:
.. code-block:: python
import ifcopenshell
from ifctester import ids, reporter
# Create new IDS
specs = ids.Ids(title="My IDS")
# add specification to it
spec = ids.Specification(name="My first specification")
spec.applicability.append(ids.Entity(name="IFCWALL"))
requirement = ids.Property(
baseName="IsExternal",
value="TRUE",
propertySet="Pset_WallCommon",
dataType="IfcBoolean",
uri="https://identifier.buildingsmart.org/uri/.../prop/LoadBearing",
instructions="Walls need to be load bearing.",
cardinality="required")
spec.requirements.append(requirement)
specs.specifications.append(spec)
# Save to a file
specs.to_xml("IDS.xml")
# Open IFC file:
my_ifc = ifcopenshell.open("model.ifc")
# Validate IFC model against IDS requirements:
specs.validate(my_ifc)
# Show results in a console
reporter.Console(specs).report()
# Alternatively, to JSON
report = reporter.Json(specs)
report.report()
report.to_file("report.json")
# Or to ODS spreadsheet
report = reporter.Ods(specs)
report.report()
report.to_file("report.ods")
# Or to HTML spreadsheet
report = reporter.Html(specs)
report.report()
report.to_file("report.html")
# Or to BCF
report = reporter.Bcf(specs)
report.report()
report.to_file("report.bcf")

# ifctester
With **IfcTester**, you can author and read **Information Delivery Specification** - **IDS** - files and validate your IFC models against IDS to see if your model is compliant. After the audit, you can generate reports in console, as a web page, JSON or BCF file. It works from the command line, as a web app, or as a library.
## How to use it
### Command line use
```bash
# run console reporter
python -m ifctester example.ids example.ifc
python -m ifctester example.ids example.ifc -r Html -o report.html
```
Available flags:
- ``-r`` / ``--reporter``: The reporting method to view audit results. Availabe reporters: Console, Txt, Json, Html, Ods, Bcf
- ``--no-color``: Disable colour output (supported by Console reporting).
- ``--excel-safe``: Make sure exported ODS is safely exported for Excel.
- ``-o`` / ``--output``: Output file (supported for all types of reporting except Console).
### Code example
```python
import ifcopenshell
from ifctester import ids, reporter
# create new IDS
my_ids = ids.Ids(title="My IDS")
# add specification to it
my_spec = ids.Specification(name="My first specification")
my_spec.applicability.append(ids.Entity(name="IFCWALL"))
property = ids.Property(
baseName="IsExternal",
value="TRUE",
propertySet="Pset_WallCommon",
dataType="IfcBoolean",
uri="https://identifier.buildingsmart.org/uri/.../prop/LoadBearing",
instructions="Walls need to be load bearing.",
cardinality="required")
my_spec.requirements.append(property)
my_ids.specifications.append(my_spec)
# Save such IDS to file
result = my_ids.to_xml("SampleIDS.xml")
# open IFC file:
my_ifc = ifcopenshell.open("MyIfcModel.ifc")
# validate IFC model against IDS requirements:
my_ids.validate(my_ifc)
# show results:
reporter.Console(my_ids).report()
```
### ifctester web app
