Quote from Jon's remark [1]:

    I do notice that Documentation/conf.py is getting large and
    unapproachable.  At some future point, it might be nice to pull
    all of the latex stuff out into a separate file where it won't
    scare people who stumble into it by accident.

Pull LaTeX preamble settings added since commit 3b4c9632 ("docs:
conf.py: adjust the LaTeX document output") out into
sphinx/kerneldoc-preamble.sty.

It will be copied to the build directory by the added
"latex_additional_files" setting in conf.py.

As a bonus, LaTeX/TeX code can be maintained without escaping backslashes.

To compensate the loss of change history in sphinx/kerneldoc-preamble.sty,
here is a list of changes made in conf.py:

  - f7ebe6b7 ("docs: Activate exCJK only in CJK chapters")
  - 0afd4df0 ("docs: pdfdocs: Prevent column squeezing by tabulary")
  - 659653c9 ("docs: pdfdocs: Refactor config for CJK document")
  - e291ff6f ("docs: pdfdocs: Add CJK-language-specific font settings")
  - 7eb368cc ("docs: pdfdocs: Choose Serif font as CJK mainfont if possible")

  - 29ac9822 ("docs: pdfdocs: Teach xeCJK about character classes of quotation marks")
  - 7c5c18bd ("docs: pdfdocs: Fix typo in CJK-language specific font settings")
  - aa872e06 ("docs: pdfdocs: Adjust \headheight for fancyhdr")
