Merge tag 'docs-6.18' of git://git.lwn.net/linux

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
 "It has been a relatively busy cycle in docsland, with changes all
  over:

   - Bring the kernel memory-model docs into the Sphinx build in the
     "literal include" mode.

   - Lots of build-infrastructure work, further cleaning up long-term
     kernel-doc technical debt. The sphinx-pre-install tool has been
     converted to Python and updated for current systems.

   - A new tool to detect when documents have been moved and generate
     HTML redirects; this can be used on kernel.org (or any other site
     hosting the rendered docs) to avoid breaking links.

   - Automated processing of the YAML files describing the netlink
     protocol.

   - A significant update of the maintainer's PGP guide.

  ... and a seemingly endless series of typo fixes, build-problem fixes,
  etc"

+Ancillary argparse HelpFormatter class that works on a similar way as
+argparse.RawDescriptionHelpFormatter, e.g. description maintains line
+breaks, but it also implement transformations to the help text. The
+actual transformations ar given by enrich_text(), if the output is tty.
+
+Currently, the follow transformations are done:
+
+    - Positional arguments are shown in upper cases;
+    - if output is TTY, ``var`` and positional arguments are shown prepended
+      by an ANSI SGR code. This is usually translated to bold. On some
+      terminals, like, konsole, this is translated into a colored bold text.
