5eb3dff5b6 docs: generate links from plain text documentation
There are two forms used throughout libvirt code comments, which
are both supported by this patch.

* plain links like e.g. http://www.libvirt.org/
* links enclosed in <> characters, e.g. <http://www.libvirt.org/>

8213f6c38e docs: process code blocks similar to Markdown
Wrap pre-formatted example code in <code> elements. This works
similar to Markdown[1] code blocks[2]:

Every line indented with at least 2 spaces is considered a code
block and gets wrapped in <pre> and <code> tags.

Look at the documentation for e.g. virStreamSend for before-and-after
effects.

0543e0d212 docs: Load libvirt_access*.xml from build dir
The xml files are generated in build directory and thus docs/newapi.xsl
was not able to find them in a VPATH build.

da13f2c70c Add documentation for access control system
This adds two new pages to the website, acl.html describing
the general access control framework and permissions models,
and aclpolkit.html describing the use of polkit as an
access control driver.

page.xsl is modified to support a new syntax

  <div id="include" filename="somefile.htmlinc"/>

which will cause the XSL transform to replace that <div>
with the contents of 'somefile.htmlinc'. We use this in
the acl.html.in file, to pull the table of permissions
for each libvirt object. This table is autogenerated
from the enums in src/access/viraccessperms.h by the
genaclperms.pl script.

newapi.xsl is modified so that the list of permissions
checks shown against each API will link to the description
of the permissions in acl.html

664ab2801d Add info about access control checks into API reference
So that app developers / admins know what access control checks
are performed for each API, this patch extends the API docs
generator to include details of the ACLs for each.

The gendispatch.pl script is extended so that it generates
a simple XML describing ACL rules, eg.

  <aclinfo>
    ...
    <api name='virConnectNumOfDomains'>
      <check object='connect' perm='search_domains'/>
      <filter object='domain' perm='getattr'/>
    </api>
    <api name='virDomainAttachDeviceFlags'>
      <check object='domain' perm='write'/>
      <check object='domain' perm='save' flags='!VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG|VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_LIVE'/>
      <check object='domain' perm='save' flags='VIR_DOMAIN_AFFECT_CONFIG'/>
    </api>
    ...
  </aclinfo>

The newapi.xsl template loads the XML files containing the ACL
rules and generates a short block of HTML for each API describing
the parameter checks and return value filters (if any).

5e7b0e8757 Fix namespace bugs in API docs, todo page & hv support page
The XSL for generating the API docs was missing the HTML5
namespace declarations. The todo and hvsupport scripts were
also missing the HTML5 doctype / namespace declaration.

52b1fd2582 docs: use div, not table, for notices on opaque types
It's simpler to render and it prevents wrapping the line too early
because of the table spacing, border et cetera.

cb022b6bc7 docs: don't use <i> and <tt> HTML tags
Use of <tt> is discouraged in HTML 4.x and has finally been obsoleted
in HTML 5. Likewise for the <i> tag.

Using tables for layout is (widely) considered bad style, too.

Use defintion lists, definition term and defintion description
elements instead.

458dd20da9 docs: Assign classes to documentation elements
In CSS the following class names are available:

* keyword     (keywords like "typedef", "struct")
* type        (types like "int", "void*")
* comment     (comments after members of enums or structs)
* directive   (preprocessor directives, #define)
* undisclosed (text saying that the API is not public)

Additionally, kill all of the left-over "programlisting" class
assignments. There are no CSS rules for them.

3b54b2e345 docs: break longer text into paragraphs in HTML
Libvirt's HTML documentation is not as easy to the eyes as it could
be since long text has no visual breaks.

Take advantage of the formatting in documentation comments and wrap
each part separated by two consecutive \n into a HTML <p> element.

ce7244a014 Improve tokenizing of linkable terms
Currently only tabs and blanks are used for tokenizing the description,
which breaks when a term is at the end of a line or has () appended to
it.
1. Use also other white space characters such as new-lines and carriage
   return for splitting.
2. Remove some common non-word characters from the token before lookup.

d42ea21aec Fix to python API extractor and API doc generation
This fixes a number of issues most of them raised by Eric Blake on the
generated documentation output:
   - parsing of "long long int" and similar
   - add parsing of unions within a struct
   - remove spurious " * " fron comments on structure fields and enums
   - fix concatenation of base type and name in arrays
   - extend XSLT to cope with union in structs

* docs/apibuild.py: fix and extend API extraction tool
* docs/newapi.xsl: extend the stylesheets to cope with union in
  public structures
