need html comments for all signatures for built-in functions

[mitzimorris]

Summary:

Conversion from latex to Rmd failed to register signatures some functions. also missing entries for sampling statements for distributions.

Description:

Every function signature should have an accompanying HTML comment, e.g.:

<!-- real; min; (real[] x); -->
<!-- int; min; (int[] x); -->

Comparison to info scraped from latex index indicates about 50 missing signatures - need to check out 2.18.1 release, run task make manual, and examine file doc/stan-functions-2.18.1.txt

Additional Information:

Current Version:

v2.19.0

Also, binomia\_l is missing an l in several places, such as

@bgoodri - 53 missing entries are for sampling statements on distributions -

when adding these back in, it would be possible to add info about params, e.g. instead of:

bernoulli;~;real;92

we could do:

<!-- real; bernoulli; ~ reals theta; -->

[mitzimorris]

just merged #43 - @bgoodri - now there are 724 entries in the form of HTML comments for all built-in functions, distributions, and sampling statements.
in 2.18.1, there were redundant entries for the "abs" function - should be 1, not 3 entries.

I have a local branch that makes stan-functions.txt using Python.

[mitzimorris]

who should we talk to at RStudio to clear this up?
@bgoodri - what do you do with the stan-functions.txt file?

[bgoodri]

I just convert it to a lookup table, stick it into rstan's namespace, and RStudio calls it.

sounds good - how about checking that python script into docs? what's a good name - 'list_stan_function' or similar?
