Add support for calling `GeneratePackage` and `GeneratePackageTree` in parallel. State is already encapsulated via `*docGenContext`, and tests of `GeneratePackage` already run in parallel, this just exposes the context abstraction to users. |

Documentation
This package supports generating documentation for Pulumi packages from their schema.
Crash course on templates
The templates use Go's built-in html/template package to process templates with data. The driver for this doc generator (e.g. tfbridge for TF-based providers) then persists each file from memory onto the disk as .md files.
Although we are using the html/template package, it has the same exact interface as the text/template package, except for some HTML specific things. Therefore, all of the functions available in the text/template package are also available with the html/template package.
- Data can be injected using
{{.PropertyName}}. - Nested properties can be accessed using the dot notation, i.e.
{{.Property1.Property2}}. - Templates can inject other templates using the
{{template "template_name"}}directive.- For this to work, you will need to first define the named template using
{{define "template_name"}}.
- For this to work, you will need to first define the named template using
- You can pass data to nested templates by simply passing an argument after the template's name.
- To remove whitespace from injected values, use the
-in the template tags.- For example,
{{if .SomeBool}} some text {{- else}} some other text {{- end}}. Note the use of-to eliminate whitespace from the enclosing text. - Read more here.
- For example,
- To render un-encoded content use the custom global function
htmlSafe.- Note: This should only be used if you know for sure you are not injecting any user-generated content, as it by-passes the HTML encoding.
- To render strings to Markdown, use the custom global function
markdownify. - To print regular strings, that share the same syntax as the Go templating engine, use the built-in global function
printfunction.

Modifying templates and updating tests
We run tests that validate our template-rendering output. If you need to make change that produces a set of Markdown files that differs from the set that we use in our tests (see codegen/testing/test/testdata/**/*.md), your pull-request checks will fail, and to get them to pass, you'll need to modify the test data to match the output produced by your change.
For minor diffs, you can just update the test files manually and include those updates with your PR. But for large diffs, you may want to regenerate the full set. To do that, from the root of the repo, run:
cd pkg/codegen/docs && PULUMI_ACCEPT=true go test . && cd -
