[CONFSERVER-8032] Use HTML id instead of empty named anchors in headings - Create and track feature requests for Atlassian products.

Feedback Policy:

We collect Confluence feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

We should assign the generated anchor name of a heading to its ID instead of using named anchor elements.

Current behaviour:

<h1><a name="Page-aHeading"></a>A Heading</h1>

Improved behaviour:

<h1 id="Page-aHeading">A heading</h1>

This results in cleaner markup and is probably easier for WYSIWYG editors to grok.

All modern browsers (and quite a few older ones) support id based anchors.
