This pull request primarily removes dependencies on the CDocsMarkdownCommentRender filter and its related environment setup from the documentation build and conversion scripts. It also updates a documentation link for clarity.

This filter is only used for the {DOCX, PDF, ePUB} file generation.

I do think this filter is useful, but it's too fragile / complicated and upon reflection shouldn't be in the main branch.

I'd like to add it back in the future, but only when it's less fragile and complicated.

Below are the most important changes grouped by theme:
Removal of CDocsMarkdownCommentRender Filter and Environment Setup:

• Eliminated all references to CDocsMarkdownCommentRender from the tools/PreCheckinUpdate.sh script, including environment variable setup, binary checks, and filter usage in the pandoc command. This simplifies the script and removes the need to clone or build the CDocs repository. [1] [2]
• Removed the addition of CDocsMarkdownCommentRender to the PATH in the tools/buildAsBook/Dockerfile.pandoc Dockerfile, further decoupling the build process from the CDocs toolchain.
• Updated the tools/buildAsBook/bind.py script to remove the --filter CDocsMarkdownCommentRender flag from the pandoc command, ensuring markdown conversion no longer relies on this external filter.

General Script and Documentation Maintenance:

• Removed container image checks and pulls for Docker/podman images related to document conversion from tools/PreCheckinUpdate.sh, streamlining the script and reducing complexity for local and CI builds.
• Updated a documentation link in docs/docs/Rude_Q_and_A.md to point to the correct Actions overview document, improving documentation accuracy.Fixes #
