167: Attempt to extract useful comments from function signatures r=matklad a=kjeremy

I'm trying to extract useful function comments for signature info. This will also be useful for hover.  This is a WIP (and actually works pretty well!) but I don't think it's the right approach long term so some guidance would be appreciated so that we could also get comments for say types and variable instances etc.

Currently `test_fn_signature_with_simple_doc` fails due to a bug in `extend` but we probably shouldn't use this approach anyway. Maybe comments should be attached to nodes somehow? I'm also thinking that maybe the markdown bits should live in the language server.

Thoughts?
