Add some more comments to dump_function(), add some comments, and trim out
an unneeded duplicate output_declaration() call.

The logic to handle macros is split in dump_function(); bring it all
together into a single place and add a comment saying what's going on.
Remove the unneeded is_define_proto variable, and tighten up the code
a bit.

The regexes for the parsing of function prototypes were more complicated
than they needed to be and difficult to understand -- at least, I spent a
fair amount of time bashing my head against them. Simplify them, and add
some documentation comments as well.

The is_define_proto case in dump_function() uses a regex with an empty
capture group - () - that has no use; just take it out.

The "name" regex in dump_function() includes both the tilde and colon
characters, but neither has any place in function prototypes. Remove the
characters, after which the regex simplifies to "\w+"
No output changes.

Both functions and structs are passed through a set of regex-based
transforms, but the two were structured differently, despite being the same
thing. Create a utility function to apply transformations and use it in
both cases.

Move these definitions to file level, where they are executed once, and
don't clutter the function itself.

struct_attribute is only used once, so just put its value there directly
and drop the name.

The handling of untyped parameters involved a number of redundant tests;
restructure the code to remove them and be more compact.
No output changes.

The special case for __cacheline_group_begin/end() can be handled by just
adding another pattern to the struct_prefixes, eliminating the need for a
special case in push_parameter().
One change is that these annotations no longer appear in the rendered
output, just like all the other annotations that we clean out.

Currently, LKMM docs are not included in any of kernel documentation
books.
Commit e40573a43d16 ("docs: put atomic*.txt and memory-barriers.txt
into the core-api book") covered plain-text docs under Documentation/
by using the "include::" directive along with the ":literal:" option.
As LKMM docs are not under Documentation/, the same approach would not
work due to the directive's restriction.
As a matter of fact, kernel documentation has an extended directive
by the name of "kernel-include::", which loosens such restriction and
accepts any files under the kernel source tree.
Rather than moving LKMM docs around, use the latter and pull them into
the dev-tools book next to KCSAN.

The ErrorString() and SafeString() docutils functions were helpers meant to
ease the handling of encodings during the Python 3 transition. There is no
real need for them after Python 3.6, and docutils 0.22 removes them,
breaking the docs build
Handle this by just injecting our own one-liner version of ErrorString(),
and removing the sole SafeString() call entirely.

As stated definitively by Linus, the use of Link: tags should be limited to
situations where there is additional useful information to be found at the
far end of the link. Update our documentation to reflect that policy, and
to remove the suggestion for a Git hook to add those tags automatically.

Freshen up the maintainer PGP guide:
- Bump minimum GnuPG version requirement from 2.2 to 2.4, since 2.2 is
no longer maintained
- All major hardware tokens now support Curve25519, so remove outdated
ECC support callouts
- Update hardware device recommendations (Nitrokey Pro 2 -> Nitrokey 3)
- Broaden backup media terminology (USB thumb drive -> external media)
- Update wording to follow vale's linter recommendations
- Various minor wording improvements for clarity

Every now and then people send stylistic patches and use Fixes
purely to refer to a commit which added the ugly or unnecessary
code. Reword the docs about Fixes.
It should hopefully be enough to lead with the word "bug"
rather than "issue". We can add more verbiage later, tho, let's
try the word swap first. I always feel like the more words the
smaller the chance someone will actually read the docs.

Add a new script and a new documentation 'make' target,
htmldocs-redirects.
This will generate HTML stub files in the HTML documentation output
directory that redirect the browser to the new path.
