Since 9b1cb507 (builtin: add a repository parameter
for builtin functions,  2024-09-13), built-in
commands now receive a `struct repository *` argument
for improved repository context handling.
Update example function signatures in the documentation
to align with this current convention.

Also, update `builtin.h` accordingly
and use the `UNUSED` macro to suppress
warnings for unused parameters in example code.
