## stardoc_with_diff_test
stardoc_with_diff_test(name, bzl_library_target, aspect_template, func_template, header_template,
provider_template, rule_template, suggested_update_target)
Creates a stardoc target, diff test, and an executable to rule to write the generated doc to the source tree and test that it's up to date.

## update_docs
update_docs(name)
Stamps an executable run for writing all stardocs declared with stardoc_with_diff_test to the source tree.
This is to be used in tandem with `stardoc_with_diff_test()` to produce a convenient workflow
for generating, testing, and updating all doc files as follows:
``` bash
bazel build //{docs_folder}/... && bazel test //{docs_folder}/... && bazel run //{docs_folder}:update
```
eg.
``` bash
bazel build //docs/... && bazel test //docs/... && bazel run //docs:update
```
