[PATCH v4 16/19] docs: add support to build manpages from kerneldoc output

[Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>]

Generating man files currently requires running a separate
script. The target also doesn't appear at the docs Makefile.

Add support for mandocs at the Makefile, adding the build
logic inside sphinx-build-wrapper, updating documentation
and dropping the ancillary script.

 How to use kernel-doc to generate man pages
 -------------------------------------------
 
-If you just want to use kernel-doc to generate man pages you can do this
-from the kernel git tree::
+To generate man pages for all files that contain kernel-doc markups, run::
 
-  $ scripts/kernel-doc -man \
-    $(git grep -l '/\*\*' -- :^Documentation :^tools) \
-    | scripts/split-man.pl /tmp/man
+  $ make mandocs
 
-Some older versions of git do not support some of the variants of syntax for
-path exclusion.  One of the following commands may work for those versions::
+Or calling ``script-build-wrapper`` directly::
 
-  $ scripts/kernel-doc -man \
-    $(git grep -l '/\*\*' -- . ':!Documentation' ':!tools') \
-    | scripts/split-man.pl /tmp/man
+  $ ./tools/docs/sphinx-build-wrapper mandocs
 
-  $ scripts/kernel-doc -man \
-    $(git grep -l '/\*\*' -- . ":(exclude)Documentation" ":(exclude)tools") \
-    | scripts/split-man.pl /tmp/man
+The output will be at ``/man`` directory inside the output directory
+(by default: ``Documentation/output``).
+
+Optionally, it is possible to generate a partial set of man pages by
+using SPHINXDIRS:
+
+  $ make SPHINXDIRS=driver-api/media mandocs
+
+.. note::
+
+   When SPHINXDIRS={subdir} is used, it will only generate man pages for
+   the files explicitly inside a ``Documentation/{subdir}/.../*.rst`` file.
