Keeping both rst and in-file documentation in sync can be harsh.
So, simplify the script's internal documntation to a bare minimum,
and add a mention to the ReST file with its full documentation.
This way, a quick help is still available at the command line,
while the complete one is maintained at the ReST format.
As we won't be using pad2rst anymore, do a cleanup at the ReST
file.

Merge back from docs-next in order to get the cdomain extension.
With such extension, the number of warnings when building docs
in nitpick mode reduced from 22 to 2 warnings.

DMA-API-HOWTO: <asm/generic/scatterlist.h> is no more
doc-rst:c-domain: function-like macros arguments

The setup() function of a Sphinx-extension can return a dictionary. This
is treated by Sphinx as metadata of the extension [1].
With metadata "parallel_read_safe = True" a extension is marked as
save for "parallel reading of source". This is needed if you want
build in parallel with N processes. E.g.:
make SPHINXOPTS=-j4 htmldocs
will no longer log warnings like:
WARNING: the foobar extension does not declare if it is safe for
parallel reading, assuming it isn't - please ask the extension author
to check and make it explicit.
Add metadata to extensions:
* kernel-doc
* flat-table
* kernel-include

Moved the *duplicate C object description* warnings for function
declarations in the nitpicky mode. In nitpick mode, you can suppress
those warnings (e.g. ioctl) with::
nitpicky = True
nitpick_ignore = [
("c:func", "ioctl"),
]
See Sphinx documentation for the config values for ``nitpick`` and
``nitpick_ignore`` [1].
With this change all the ".. cpp:function:: int ioctl(..)" descriptions
(found in the media book) can be migrated to ".. c:function:: int
ioctl(..)", without getting any warnings. E.g.::
.. cpp:function:: int ioctl( int fd, int request, struct cec_event *argp )
.. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, int request, struct cec_event *argp )
The main effect, is that we get those *CPP-types* back into Sphinx's C-
namespace and we need no longer to distinguish between c/cpp references,
when we refer a function like the ioctl.

Add option 'name' to the "c:function:" directive. With option 'name'
the ref-name of a function can be modified. E.g.::
.. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, int request )
:name: VIDIOC_LOG_STATUS
The func-name (e.g. ioctl) remains in the output but the ref-name
changed from ``ioctl`` to ``VIDIOC_LOG_STATUS``. The index entry for
this function is also changed to ``VIDIOC_LOG_STATUS`` and the function
can now referenced by::
:c:func:`VIDIOC_LOG_STATUS`

Add a generic way to build only a reST sub-folder with or
without a individual *build-theme*.
* control *sub-folders* by environment SPHINXDIRS
* control *build-theme* by environment SPHINX_CONF
Folders with a conf.py file, matching $(srctree)/Documentation/*/conf.py
can be build and distributed *stand-alone*. E.g. to compile only the
html of 'media' and 'gpu' folder use::
make SPHINXDIRS="media gpu" htmldocs
To use an additional sphinx-build configuration (*build-theme*) set the
name of the configuration file to SPHINX_CONF. E.g. to compile only the
html of 'media' with the *nit-picking* build use::
make SPHINXDIRS=media SPHINX_CONF=conf_nitpick.py htmldocs
With this, the Documentation/conf.py is read first and updated with the
configuration values from the Documentation/media/conf_nitpick.py.

The function that replace references add a "\ " at the end of
references, to avoid the ReST markup parser to not identify
them as references. That works fine except for the end of lines,
as a sequence of { '\', ' ', '\n' } characters makes Sphinx
to ignore the end of line. So, strip those escape/spaces at the
end of lines.

The kernel-include directive is needed to include the auto generated rst
content from a build (pre-) process. E.g. the linux_tv Makefile
generates intermediate reST-files from header files. Since there is a O=
option:
make O=dir [targets] Locate all output files in "dir"
We need to include intermediate reST files from arbitrary (O=/tmp/foo)
locations:
The 'kernel-include' reST-directive is a replacement for the 'include'
directive. The 'kernel-include' directive expand environment variables
in the path name and allows to include files from arbitrary locations.
.. hint::
Including files from arbitrary locations (e.g. from '/etc') is a
security risk for builders. This is why the 'include' directive from
docutils *prohibit* pathnames pointing to locations *above* the
filesystem tree where the reST document with the include directive is
placed.
Substrings of the form $name or ${name} are replaced by the value of
environment variable name. Malformed variable names and references to
non-existing variables are left unchanged.

The typedef handler should do two things to be generic:
1) parse typedef enums;
2) accept both possible syntaxes:
typedef struct foo { .. } foo_t;
typedef struct { .. } foo_t;
Unfortunately, this is needed to parse some legacy DVB
files, like dvb/audio.h.
