refactor(compiler-cli): support ignoring specific doc entries during extraction (#55053)

This commit adds support for ignoring specific doc entries when
extracting doc entries. This allows us to drop e.g. `InputFunction` from
the API docs, given that the `input` API entry holds all the relevant
information.

`InputFunction` only exists for type purposes in the `.d.ts`.
