Hi Jon,

Sorry for resending this one. Two e-mails ended being encoded
using base64 (*). The content of this series is identical. The
only difference is that all patches including 05 and 15 are now
in plain text (using 8bit encoding).

This series does a major cleanup at docs Makefile by moving the
actual doc build logic to a helper script (scripts/sphinx-build-wrapper).

Such script was written in a way that it can be called either
directly or via a makefile. When running via makefile, it will
use GNU jobserver to ensure that, when sphinx-build is
called, the number of jobs will match at most what it is
specified by the "-j" parameter.

The first 3 patches do a cleanup at scripts/jobserver-exec
and moves the actual code to a library. Such library is used
by both the jobserver-exec command line and by sphinx-build-wrappper.

The change also gets rid of parallel-wrapper.sh, whose
functions are now part of the wrapper code.

I added two patches at the end adding an extra target: "mandocs".
The patches came from a series I sent in separate with 2 patches.

(*) I just converted by internal mailbomb script to Python, but
EmailMessage is really tricky - I spent most of my time scratching
my head to get it right - It has a confusing set of "policy" rules
and two functions to generate messages. It turns that just using a
good policy is not enough: one needs to use as_bytes() to avoid
base64 encoding.

v3:
- rebased on the top of docs-next;
- added two patches to build man files that were on a separate
  patch series.

v2:

- there's no generic exception handler anymore;
- it moves sphinx-pre-install to tools/docs;
- the logic which ensures a minimal Python version got moved
  to a library, which is now used by both pre-install and wrapper;
- The first wrapper (05/13) doesn't contain comments (except for
  shebang and SPDX). The goal is to help showing the size increase
  when moving from Makefile to Python. Some file increase is
  unavoidable, as Makefile is more compact: no includes, multple
  statements per line, no argparse, etc;
- The second patch adds docstrings and comments. It has almost
  the same size of the code itself;
- I moved the venv logic to a third wrapper patch;
- I fixed an issue at the paraller build logic;
- There are no generic except blocks anymore.
