baf0ad2309 Docs: Add a "seealso" section to the module docs (#45949)
* Docs: Add a separate  "seealso" section to the module docs
to list related modules and/or related references. This clears up the notes
section for things that are actual notes.

So you can add a section in your module documentation and four types of
references are possible.

    seealso:

    # Reference by module name
    - module: aci_tenant

    # Reference by module name, including description
    - module: aci_tenant
      description: ACI module to create tenants on a Cisco ACI fabric.

    # Reference by rST documentation anchor
    - ref: aci_guide
      description: Detailed information on how to manage your ACI infrastructure using Ansible.

    # Reference by Internet resource
    - name: APIC Management Information Model reference
      description: Complete reference of the APIC object model.
      link: https://developer.cisco.com/docs/apic-mim-ref/

This PR also includes:

- Implements ansible-doc support
- Implements schema support for the seealso options
- Updates to the development documentation
- Rename filter convert_symbols_to_format to rst_ify, cfr the existing html_ify and tty_ify filters
  - This makes the existing template a lot easier to read and fixes the confusion I had myself rereading the template (again).
- We fixed the possible suboption types (which was limited to 'bool' only)

Module deprecation: docs, scheme and tests (#34100)
Enforce module deprecation.
After module has reached the end of it's deprecation cycle we will replace it with a docs stub.

* Replace deprecated modules with docs-only sub
* Use of deprecated past deprecation cycle gives meaningful message (see examples below)
* Enforce documentation.deprecation dict via `schema.py`
* Update `ansible-doc` and web docs to display documentation.deprecation
* Document that structure in `dev_guide`
* Ensure that all modules starting with `_` have a `deprecation:` block
* Ensure `deprecation:` block is only used on modules that start with `_`
* `removed_in` A string which represents when this module needs **deleting**
* CHANGELOG.md and porting_guide_2.5.rst list removed modules as well as alternatives
* CHANGELOG.md links to porting guide index

To ensure that meaningful messages are given to the user if they try to use a module at the end of it's deprecation cycle we enforce the module to contain:
```python
if __name__ == '__main__':
    removed_module()
```

e63d949951 Add a blank line, and use the Copyright format as used during rewrite
So there is a discrepancy between the dev guide and what has been changed on disk by toshio.
Not a big deal, but needlessly confusing.

f78baa1300 Implement ability to limit module documentation building (#24576)
* Implement ability to limit module documentation building:

- Added new option to plugin_formatter.py to support passing-in a list of
  modules for which the documentation should be built.
- Updated docuemtnation Makefile to allow specifying list of modules via
  environment variables (defaulting to all modules).
- Update instructions for building documentation and module development to
  include commands and description of limiting module documentation builds.

* Updated implementation for limiting module documentation building:

- Pass list of modules (or None) to list_modules function instead of string.
- Move conversion of module list to argument parsing code.
- No special keywords. Default ("") means build all modules. For no modules just
  specify non-existing module name.
- Updated documentation to reflect the changes.

* Updated implementation for limiting module documentation building:

- Use better default value, and don't treat "" as special case.
- Conditionally invoke different variants of command in Makefile instead of
  using special value "".

* Minor edits

04e816e13b Stricter module documentation validation (#22353)
Raise the bar for module `DOCUMENTAION`
This validator update was used to find the issues in https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/22297/files

**Validation**
* Updated Validation and docs to enforce more (items fixed in https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/22297/files)
* Use `suboptions` to document complex options 
* Validate module name
* Validate deprecated modules have correct ANSIBLE_METADATA

**Module Documentation Generation**
* Document `suboptions:` Example https://gist.github.com/gundalow/4bdc3669d696268328ccc18528cc6718
* Tidy up HTML generation (valid HTML, no empty lists, etc)
 
**Documentation**
* Clarify the steps for deprecating a module
* Use correct RST headings
* Document `suboptions:` (options)
* Document `contains:` (returns)


**Details**
The aim is to get this (and corresponding module updates) complete by the time `devel` becomes `2.4`, as this allows us to raise the bar for new modules

Example `suboptions` https://gist.github.com/gundalow/4bdc3669d696268328ccc18528cc6718

The aim is to get this PR integrated into `devel` *before* we branch `stable-2.3`, this will allows us to:
* Raise the bar for new modules in 2.4
* Ensure the generated module documentation for 2.3 and higher is improved, important as we will be doing versioned docs moving forward.
