    Documentation: Document each netlink family · f061c9f7
    Breno Leitao authored
    This is a simple script that parses the Netlink YAML spec files
    (Documentation/netlink/specs/), and generates RST files to be rendered
    in the Network -> Netlink Specification documentation page.
    
    Create a python script that is invoked during 'make htmldocs', reads the
    YAML specs input file and generate the correspondent RST file.
    
    Create a new Documentation/networking/netlink_spec index page, and
    reference each Netlink RST file that was processed above in this main
    index.rst file.
    
    In case of any exception during the parsing, dump the error and skip
    the file.
    
    Do not regenerate the RST files if the input files (YAML) were not
    changed in-between invocations.

    ----
    Changelog:
    
    V3:
    	* Do not regenerate the RST files if the input files were not
    	  changed. In order to do it, a few things changed:
    	  - Rely on Makefile more to find what changed, and trigger
    	    individual file processing
    	  - The script parses file by file now (instead of batches)
    	  - Create a new option to generate the index file
    
    V2:
    	* Moved the logic from a sphinx extension to a external script
    	* Adjust some formatting as suggested by Donald Hunter and Jakub
    	* Auto generating all the rsts instead of having stubs
    	* Handling error gracefully
