scripts/documentation-file-ref-check: rewrite it in perl with auto-fix mode
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.
