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.
