Mauro Carvalho Chehab 0f60724f53 docs: 00-INDEX: document directories/files with no docs
There are a number of files/directories that don't contain
any documentation. They're related to ReST file conversion.

As a matter of completeness, since Makefile is also documented
there, add an entry for those files too.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab c339665666 docs-rst: parse-headers.pl: cleanup the documentation
Keeping both rst and in-file documentation in sync can be harsh.

So, simplify the script's internal documntation to a bare minimum,
and add a mention to the ReST file with its full documentation.

This way, a quick help is still available at the command line,
while the complete one is maintained at the ReST format.

As we won't be using pad2rst anymore, do a cleanup at the ReST
file.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab 15a04d4e76 docs-rst: auto-generate PDF image files
The PDF files that contain media images were actually generated
offline from their SVG or PNG source files.

Sphinx can handle PNG sources automatially. So, let's just
drop their PDF counterparts.

For SVG, however, Sphinx doesn't produce the right tags to
use the TexLive SVG support. Also, the SVG support is done via
shell execution, with is not nice.

So, while we don't have any support for SVG inside Sphinx
core or as an extension, move the logic to build them to Makefile,
producing the PDF images on runtime.

NOTE: due to the way Sphinx works, the PDF images should be
generated inside the Kernel source tree, as otherwise Sphinx
won't find it, not obeying what's specified by "O=" makefile
parameter.

The solution is to redefine the \DURole macro.

error is known to be present.

Tested by building the documentation on interactive mode:
