This commit fixes the display of the BPF documentation in the sidebar
when rendered as HTML.
Before this patch, the sidebar would render as follows for some
sections:
| BPF Documentation
|- BPF Type Format (BTF)
|- BPF Type Format (BTF)
This was due to creating a heading in index.rst followed by
a sphinx toctree, where the file referenced carries the same
title as the section heading.
To fix this I applied a pattern that has been established in other
subfolders of Documentation:
1. Re-wrote index.rst to have a single toctree
2. Split the sections out in to their own files
Additionally maps.rst and programs.rst make use of a glob pattern to
include map_* or prog_* rst files in their toctree, meaning future map
or program type documentation will be automatically included.

This adds a section to the documentation for libbpf
naming convention which describes how to document
API features in libbpf, specifically the format of
which API doc comments need to conform to.

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 removes the libbpf_api.rst file from the kernel documentation.
The intention for this file was to pull documentation from comments
above API functions in libbpf. However, due to limitations of the
kernel documentation system, this API documentation could not be
versioned, which is counterintuative to how users expect to use it.
There is also currently no doc comments, making this a blank page.
Once the kernel comment documentation is actually contributed, it
will still exist in the kernel repository, just in the code itself.
A seperate site is being spun up to generate documentaiton from those
comments in a way in which it can be versioned properly.
This also reconfigures the bpf documentation index page to make it
easier to sync to the previously mentioned documentaiton site.

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.
