Fixes #296

This moves the auto identifiers logic into the AST (when parsing the document). It moves the auto_identifiers parameter from the Omd.to_html function to the Omd.{of_channel,of_string} function.

I'm not sure if this API is ideal because it means that we have to parse a document twice (once with auto_identifiers set to true and once with false) if we want to print it with/without auto-identifiers.

let with_ids = Omd.of_string ~auto_identifiers:true "..." |> Omd.to_html
let without_ids = Omd.of_string ~auto_identifiers:false "..." |> Omd.to_html

Perhaps including the auto-ids in the AST and deciding whether or not to include them at the time of printing would be a better solution.

let doc = Omd.of_string "..." in
let with_ids = Omd.to_html ~auto_identifiers:true doc
let without_ids = Omd.to_html ~auto_identifiers:false doc

The only problem is that we'd need to distinguish an explicit id from an auto-generated one in the AST.

show Omd.Ctor.[ h 6 [ txt "Heading 6"; em "with emphasis!" ] ];
[%expect
{| <h6 id="heading-6with-emphasis">Heading 6<em>with emphasis!</em></h6> |}]
{| <h6>Heading 6<em>with emphasis!</em></h6> |}]

I think that's a side effect of the new implementation. Since we now add the auto-ids at the time we parse the document, there's no way to have them auto-included here.
