The Linux kernel moved to sphinx-based documentation and got rid of the
DocBook based documentation quite a while ago. Hence, the DocBook
documentation for U-Boot should be converted as well.
To achieve this, import the necessary files from Linux v4.17, and
convert the current DocBook documentation (three files altogether) to
sphinx/reStructuredText.
For now, all old DocBook documentation was merged into a single
handbook, tentatively named "U-Boot Hacker Manual".
For some source files, the documentation style was changed to comply
with kernel-doc; no functional changes were applied.

When U-Boot started using SPDX tags we were among the early adopters and
there weren't a lot of other examples to borrow from. So we picked the
area of the file that usually had a full license text and replaced it
with an appropriate SPDX-License-Identifier: entry. Since then, the
Linux Kernel has adopted SPDX tags and they place it as the very first
line in a file (except where shebangs are used, then it's second line)
and with slightly different comment styles than us.
In part due to community overlap, in part due to better tag visibility
and in part for other minor reasons, switch over to that style.
This commit changes all instances where we have a single declared
license in the tag as both the before and after are identical in tag
contents. There's also a few places where I found we did not have a tag
and have introduced one.

This corrects several typos in the comment block as well as some
indentions and nits in the linker_lists.h.

Once declared, you cannot access a linker_list entry since you do not have
a symbol name for it. Add llsym() macro to provide this. This avoids
searching for the symbol at run-time based on name.
An example usage is to declare a driver with U_BOOT_DRIVER(), then obtain
a pointer to that driver later.

The existing ll_entry_declare() permits a single element of the list to
be added to a linker list. Sometimes we want to add several objects at
once. To avoid lots of messy declarations, add a macro to support this.

The header file include/linker_lists.h uses __aligned();
therefore it depends on include/linux/compiler.h

Refactor linker-generated array code so that symbols
which were previously linker-generated are now compiler-
generated. This causes relocation records of type
R_ARM_ABS32 to become R_ARM_RELATIVE, which makes
code which uses LGA able to run before relocation as
well as after.
Note: this affects more than ARM targets, as linker-
lists span possibly all target architectures, notably
PowerPC.

This patch adds support for linker-generated array. These arrays
are a generalization of the U-Boot command declaration approach.
Basically, the idea is to generate an array, where elements of the
array are statically initialized at compile time and each element
is declared separatelly at different place. Such array is assembled
together into continuous piece of memory by linker and a pointer to
it's first entry can then be retrieved via accessor.
The actual implementation relies on placing any variable that is to
represent an element of LG-array into particular subsection of the
.u_boot_list linker section . The subsection is determined by user
options. Once compiled, it is possible to dump all symbols placed
in .u_boot_list section and the subsections in which they should be
and generate appropriate bounds for each requested subsection of the
.u_boot_list section. Each such subsection thus contains __start and
__end entries at the begining and end respecitively.
This allows for simple run-time traversing of the array, since the
symbols are properly defined.
