doc: remove node.js dependency

`prep.js` outputs its own HTML directives, which `pandoc` cannot
recognize when converting the document into LaTeX (this is why the
PDF docs have never been highlighted as of now).

Note that if we were to add the `.rust` class to snippets, we could
probably use pandoc's native highlighting capatibilities i.e. Kate.
fix shootout-spectralnorm, broken since Arc cannot unwrap.
