a592a36e49 Documentation: use a source-read extension for the index link boilerplate
The root document usually has a special :ref:`genindex` link to the
generated index. This is also the case for Documentation/index.rst. The
other index.rst files deeper in the directory hierarchy usually don't.

For SPHINXDIRS builds, the root document isn't Documentation/index.rst,
but some other index.rst in the hierarchy. Currently they have a
".. only::" block to add the index link when doing SPHINXDIRS html
builds.

This is obviously very tedious and repetitive. The link is also added to
all index.rst files in the hierarchy for SPHINXDIRS builds, not just the
root document.

Put the boilerplate in a sphinx-includes/subproject-index.rst file, and
include it at the end of the root document for subproject builds in an
ad-hoc source-read extension defined in conf.py.

For now, keep having the boilerplate in translations, because this
approach currently doesn't cover translated index link headers.

This is mostly a collection of thoughts for how people who want to help out
can make the docs better.  Hopefully the world will respond with a flurry
of useful patches.

d8e8bcc3d8 docs: doc-guide: remove the extension from .rst files
On almost all places, we're including ReST files without the
extension.

Let's remove the extension here as well, in order to use just
one standard.

1dc4bbf0b2 docs-rst: doc-guide: split the kernel-documentation.rst contents
Having the kernel-documentation at the topmost level doesn't
allow generating a separate PDF file for it. Also, makes harder
to add extra contents. So, place it on a sub-dir.
