(core) Update app/plugin/ documentation comments to improve generated docs

Summary:
- Move CellValue documentation to CellValue and add an example for each type.
- Link to CellValue from places that mention it.
- Update deprecated [[LINK]] syntax to a supported {@link} one, in a way that
  does not change generated documentation.

- Also fix auto-pick-ports script used in tests (which had a bug causing occasional test failures), and add a test for it.

Test Plan: No code changes for documentation changes. New test for auto-pick-ports.
