The automarkup script previously matched expressions and substituted
them with markup to enable automatic cross-reference all in the same
function.
Split the expression matching iteration and the markup substitution into
different functions to make it easier to add new regular expressions and
functions to treat each of them.

There's a warning at iio.h kernel-doc markup:
./include/linux/iio/iio.h:644: WARNING: Unknown target name: "devm".
Because it is using {devm_}foo notation. Well, this is not
a valid kernel-doc notation. Also, it prevents creating hyperlinks
to other documentation functions.
So, replace it to a better notation.

There are two broken references at submitting-patches.rst:

Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst:336: WARNING: undefined label: documentation/process/email-clients.rst (if the link has no caption the label must precede a section header)
Those are due to some recent renames and file moves.

The default way of building documentation is to use
Sphinx toolchain installed via pip, inside the
Kernel tree main directory. That's what's recommended by:
scripts/sphinx-pre-install
As it usually provides a better version of this package
than the one installed, specially on LTS distros.
So, add the directories created by running the commands
suggested by the script.

In order to cross-reference C types in the documentation, Sphinx
requires the syntax :c:type:`type_name`, or even :c:type:`struct
type_name <type_name>` in order to have the link text different from the
target text.
Extend automarkup to enable automatic cross-reference of C types by
matching any "struct|union|enum|typedef type_name" expression.
This makes the documentation's plain text cleaner and adds
cross-reference to types without any additional effort by the author.

Greg has challenged some recent driver submitters on their license
choices. He was correct to do so, as the choices in these instances
did not always advance the aims of the submitters.
But, this left submitters (and the folks who help them pick licenses)
a bit confused. They have read things like
Documentation/process/license-rules.rst which says:
individual source files can have a different license
which is required to be compatible with the GPL-2.0
and Documentation/process/submitting-drivers.rst:
We don't insist on any kind of exclusive GPL licensing,
and if you wish ... you may well wish to release under
multiple licenses.
As written, these appear a _bit_ more laissez faire than we've been in
practice lately. It sounds like we at least expect submitters to make
a well-reasoned license choice and to explain their rationale. It does
not appear that we blindly accept anything that is simply
GPLv2-compatible.
Drivers appear to be the most acute source of misunderstanding, so fix
the driver documentation first. Update it to clarify expectations.

Based on a vote at the LLVM BoF at Plumbers 2020, we decided to start
small, supporting just one formal upstream release of LLVM for now.
We can probably widen the support window of supported versions over
time. Also, note that LLVM's release process is different than GCC's.
GCC tends to have 1 major release per year while releasing minor updates
to the past 3 major versions. LLVM tends to support one major release
and one minor release every six months.
