Work around OS X issue with dropped #fragment in launched URLs

The previous hack used to work around an OS X issue/bug where launching
a URL with a #fragment appended would drop the fragment by using
`osascript` does not seem to work any more. Append the section name as a
query string (in addition to, not instead of #section) and then use some
basic javascript appended to the user doc HTML template to parse that
and jump to the correct section (if the section was dropped).

Closes #4480

// Some platforms don't handle launching a browser to navigate a page with
// a #fragment specified, so we use this workaround combined with a query string.
// See https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/4480
var params = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search); //?section=foo
var section = params.get("section");
if (section != null && location.hash == "") {
location.hash = "#" + section;
