Reduce database size

According to sqlite3_analyzer tool the 3 largest tables are CppDocComment (50.3%), CppAstNode (33.1%) and FileContent (5.0%). Measurement is done on a Xerces parsing. CppDocComment is this huge, because we're storing the comments in HTML format with a lot of styling. We should remove HTML formatting. We should also consider storing these doc comments as compressed .zip.

[x] Storing documentation comments in markdown format instead of HTML
[ ] Compress documentation comments with ZIP
[ ] A CSS would be nice for formatting documentation comments in the GUI
