This adds comments above functions in libbpf.h which document
their uses. These comments are of a format that doxygen and sphinx
can pick up and render. These are rendered by libbpf.readthedocs.org
These doc comments are for:
- bpf_object__find_map_by_name()
- bpf_map__fd()
- bpf_map__is_internal()
- libbpf_get_error()
- libbpf_num_possible_cpus()

This patch renames a documentation libbpf.rst to index.rst. In order
for readthedocs.org to pick this file up and properly build the
documentation site.
It also changes the title type of the ABI subsection in the
naming convention doc. This is so that readthedocs.org doesn't treat this
section as a separate document.

This adds documentation files, including ones for autogenerating API
documentation based on code comments in the source code that's pulled
in via the mirror.

This patch is meant to start the initiative to document libbpf.
It includes .rst files which are text documentation describing building,
API naming convention, as well as an index to generated API documentation.
In this approach the generated API documentation is enabled by the kernels
existing kernel documentation system which uses sphinx. The resulting docs
would then be synced to kernel.org/doc
You can test this by running `make htmldocs` and serving the html in
Documentation/output. Since libbpf does not yet have comments in kernel
doc format, see kernel.org/doc/html/latest/doc-guide/kernel-doc.html for
an example so you can test this.
The advantage of this approach is to use the existing sphinx
infrastructure that the kernel has, and have libbpf docs in
the same place as everything else.
The current plan is to have the libbpf mirror sync the generated docs
and version them based on the libbpf releases which are cut on github.
This patch includes the addition of libbpf_api.rst which pulls comment
documentation from header files in libbpf under tools/lib/bpf/. The comment
docs would be of the standard kernel doc format.
