    scripts/documentation-file-ref-check: rewrite it in perl with auto-fix mode · d2656095
    Mauro Carvalho Chehab authored
    The original shell script works, but:
    	1) it is too slow;
    	2) it is hard to exclude rejex patterns
    
    Convert it to perl.
    
    Here, the new version is able to check the entire tree in
    less than a second (after cached):
    
    	real	0m0,284s
    	user	0m0,668s
    	sys	0m0,778s
    
    The old version takes more than a minute to complete (also
    after cached):
    	real	1m17,905s
    	user	0m25,583s
    	sys	0m55,334s
    
    It also produce less false-positives (if any).
    
    The new script also contains an auto-fix mode.
    
    Usually, file references get lost when they're moved to some other
    place and/or renamed to .rst.
    
    Add an experimental mode to auto-fix those.
