Hi Jon,

This patch series change the way maintainer entry profile links
are added to the documentation. Instead of having an entry for
each of them at an ReST file, get them from MAINTAINERS content.

That should likely make easier to maintain, as there will be a single
point to place all such profiles.

The output is a per-subsystem sorted (*) series of links shown as a
list like this:

    - Arm And Arm64 Soc Sub-Architectures (Common Parts)
    - Arm/Samsung S3C, S5P And Exynos Arm Architectures
    - Arm/Tesla Fsd Soc Support
    ...
    - Xfs Filesystem

Please notice that the series is doing one logical change per patch.
I could have merged some changes altogether, but I opted doing it
in small steps to help reviews. If you prefer, feel free to merge
maintainers_include changes on merge.

There is one interesting side effect of this series: there is no
need to add rst files containing profiles inside a TOC tree: Just
creating the file anywhere inside Documentation and adding a P entry
is enough. Adding them to a TOC won't hurt.

Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-doc/69dd6299440be_147c801005b@djbw-dev.notmuch/

(*) At the end, I opted to use sorted(), just to ensure it, even
    knowing that MAINTAINER entries are supposed to be sorted, as
    the cost of sorting ~20 already-sorted entries is negligible.

v2:
  - I placed the to MAINTAINERS changes at the beginning.
  - fix a bug when O=DOCS is used;
  - proper handle glob "P" entries (just in case, no profiles use it ATM);
  - when SPHINXDIRS=process, instead of producing warnings, point to
    entries at https://docs.kernel.org;
  - MAINTAINERS parsing now happens just once;
  - The output won't be numered for entries inside numered TOC trees;
  - TOC tree is now hidden;
  - instead of display a TOC tree, it shows a list of profiles,
    ordered and named after file system name taken from MAINTAINERS file;
  - At the output list, both https and file profiles are shown the same
    way.
