The kernel-feat directive passes its argument straight to the shell.
This is unfortunate and unnecessary.

Let's always use paths relative to $srctree/Documentation/ and use
subprocess.check_call() instead of subprocess.Popen(shell=True).

This also makes the code shorter.

This is analogous to commit 3231dd58 ("docs: kernel_abi.py: fix
command injection") where we did exactly the same thing for
kernel_abi.py, somehow I completely missed this one.

The 'alabaster' theme dropped support for Sphinx < v3.4:

    0.7.14 – 2024-01-08

    * Dropped support for Python 3.8 and earlier.
    * Dropped support for Sphinx 3.3 and earlier.
    [...]

(Source: https://alabaster.readthedocs.io/en/latest/changelog.html)

This manifests as an error when running 'make htmldocs' in a virtualenv
constructed from Documentation/sphinx/requirements.txt:

    Sphinx version error:
    The alabaster extension used by this project needs at least Sphinx v3.4; it therefore cannot be built with this version.

Raising the Sphinx version is not really a good option at this point,
since 3.x through 6.x have horrible performance regressions (7.x still
does, but not quite as bad).

Instead, constrain the 'alabaster' package to versions that still support
Sphinx 2.4.4.

The code currently leaks the absolute path of the ABI files into the
rendered documentation.

There exists code to prevent this, but it is not effective when an
absolute path is passed, which it is when $srctree is used.

I consider this to be a minimal, stop-gap fix; a better fix would strip
off the actual prefix instead of hacking it off with a regex.

Add a new Sphinx extension that knows about the translations of kernel
documentation and can insert links to the translations at the top of
the document.

It basically works like this:

1. Register a new node type, LanguagesNode.

2. Register a new transform, TranslationsTransform, that inserts a new
   LanguageNode at the top of every document. The LanguageNode contains
   "pending references" to translations of the document. The key here
   is that these are pending (i.e. unresolved) references that may or
   may not actually exist.

3. Register a 'doctree-resolved' event that iterates over all the
   LanguageNode nodes. Any unresolved references are filtered out; the
   list of resolved references is passed to the 'translations.html'
   template and rendered as an HTML node (if HTML output is selected).

Testing: make htmldocs, make latexdocs with Sphinx v4.3.2 and Firefox.

- changed bar into a drop-down menu
- fixed language labels
- fixed hysteresis reported by Akira Yokosawa

The warning for Excess struct or union member description was
removed when the $nested parameter of check_sections() was removed.
This causes some kernel-doc notation warnings to be missed.

Recently the kernel test robot somehow reported an Excess member. The
code in kernel-doc has not issued that warning since kernel v4.16, so I
don't know how the robot did it. (See the Link for the report.)

  drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/fw/dbg.c:86: warning: Excess struct/union/enum/typedef member 'trans_len' description in 'iwl_fw_dump_ptrs'

I patched that warning away even though I could not reproduce the
warning from kernel-doc. The warning should be issued for extraneous
struct member or union member description, so restore it.
