Show inherited members

The inherited members should be shown, e.g. like MSDN:

This hits DiffSharp optimizers, which appear to only be a constructor, e.g. here

This is a great feature request. Looking at the current code in GenerateModel.fs, the getMembers function already walks the base type chain, but only to fold in members from explicitly excluded/omitted base types — it doesn't collect inherited members for display:

let rec getMembers (typ: FSharpEntity) =
    [ yield! typ.MembersFunctionsAndValues
      match typ.BaseType with
      | Some baseType ->
          match cmds with
          | Command "exclude" _
          | Command "omit" _ -> yield! getMembers baseType.TypeDefinition
          | _ -> () // <-- inherited members from non-excluded bases are dropped
      | None -> () ]

To implement inherited member display (MSDN-style), the work would involve:

1. Model changes: Add an InheritedMembers field to ApiDocEntity that collects members from all base types in the chain, grouped by declaring type.

2. Template changes: Add an "Inherited Members" section in the HTML/Markdown templates (partMembers.html or similar) that renders these grouped by their source type with links to the base type's docs page.

3. ApiDocMember attribution: Each inherited member would need a reference back to its declaring ApiDocEntity so the template can render "Inherited from BaseClass".

The main challenge is that the members from base types (like System.Object) are typically not documented within FSharp.Formatting itself — the template would need to render cross-package links (e.g., to docs.microsoft.com for BCL types) in a meaningful way. It may be worth limiting inherited member display to types documented within the same assembly group initially.

ApiDocEntity.BaseType (line 604 in GenerateModel.fs) already exposes the base type with formatted HTML, so the foundation is there. A PR implementing step 1 and 2 above would be a good starting point.
