docs: better docs, mv doxygen to sphinx
This patch refactors the VPP sphinx docs in order to make it easier to consume for external readers as well as VPP developers. It also makes sphinx the single source of documentation, which simplifies maintenance and operation. Most important updates are: - reformat the existing documentation as rst - split RELEASE.md and move it into separate rst files - remove section 'events' - remove section 'archive' - remove section 'related projects' - remove section 'feature by release' - remove section 'Various links' - make (Configuration reference, CLI docs, developer docs) top level items in the list - move 'Use Cases' as part of 'About VPP' - move 'Troubleshooting' as part of 'Getting Started' - move test framework docs into 'Developer Documentation' - add a 'Contributing' section for gerrit, docs and other contributer related infos - deprecate doxygen and test-docs targets - redirect the "make doxygen" target to "make docs" Type: refactor Change-Id: I552a5645d5b7964d547f99b1336e2ac24e7c209f Signed-off-by: Nathan Skrzypczak <nathan.skrzypczak@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Yourtchenko <ayourtch@gmail.com>

+======================
+Set Interface Commands
+======================
+
+This section covers those commands that are related to setting an
+interface:
+
+- `Set Interface IP Address <#set-interface-ip-address>`__
+- `Set Interface L2 Bridge <#set-interface-l2-bridge>`__
+- `Set Interface MTU <#set-interface-mtu>`__
+- `Set Interface Promiscuous <#set-interface-promiscuous>`__
+- `Set Interface State <#set-interface-state>`__
+
+.. note::
+
+ For a complete list of CLI Debug commands refer to the Debug CLI
+ section of the `Source Code
+ Documents <https://docs.fd.io/vpp/18.07/clicmd.html>`__ .
+
+Set Interface IP Address
+========================
+
+.. code:: console
+
+ set interface ip address [del] <*interface*> <*ip-addr*>/<*mask*> | [all]
+
+Add an IP Address to an interface or remove and IP Address from an
+interface. The IP Address can be an IPv4 or an IPv6 address. Interfaces
+may have multiple IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. There is no concept of
+primary vs. secondary interface addresses; they're just addresses.
+
+To display the addresses associated with a given interface, use the
+command **show interface address** <*interface*>.
+
+.. note::
+
+ The debug CLI does not enforce classful mask-width / addressing
+ constraints.
+
+Example Usage
+-------------
+
+An example of how to add an IPv4 address to an interface:
+
+.. code:: console
+
+ vpp# set interface ip address GigabitEthernet2/0/0 172.16.2.12/24
+
+An example of how to add an IPv6 address to an interface:
+
+.. code:: console
+
+ vpp# set interface ip address GigabitEthernet2/0/0 ::a:1:1:0:7/126
+
+To delete a specific interface ip address:
+
+.. code:: console
+
+ vpp# set interface ip address GigabitEthernet2/0/0 172.16.2.12/24 del
+
+To delete all interfaces addresses (IPv4 and IPv6):
+
+.. code:: console
+
+ vpp# set interface ip address GigabitEthernet2/0/0 del all
+
+Declaration and Implementation
+------------------------------
+
+**Declaration:** set_interface_ip_address_command
+(src/vnet/ip/ip46_cli.c line 216)
+
+**Implementation:** add_del_ip_address
+
+Set Interface L2 Bridge
+=======================
+
+.. code:: console
+
+ set interface l2 bridge <*interface*> <*bridge-domain-id*> [bvi|uu-fwd]
+ [shg]
+
+Use this command put an interface into Layer 2 bridge domain. If a
+bridge-domain with the provided bridge-domain-id does not exist, it will
+be created. Interfaces in a bridge-domain forward packets to other
+interfaces in the same bridge-domain based on destination mac address.
+To remove an interface from a the Layer 2 bridge domain, put the
+interface in a different mode, for example Layer 3 mode.
+
+Optionally, an interface can be added to a Layer 2 bridge-domain as a
+Bridged Virtual Interface (bvi). Only one interface in a Layer 2
+bridge-domain can be a bvi.
+
+Optionally, a split-horizon group can also be specified. This defaults
+to 0 if not specified.
+
+.. _example-usage-1:
+
+Example Usage
+-------------
+
+Example of how to configure a Layer 2 bridge-domain with three
+interfaces (where 200 is the bridge-domain-id):
+
+.. code:: console
+
+ vpp# set interface l2 bridge GigabitEthernet0/8/0.200 200
+
+This interface is added a BVI interface:
+
+.. code:: console
+
+ vpp# set interface l2 bridge GigabitEthernet0/9/0.200 200 bvi
+
+This interface also has a split-horizon group of 1 specified:
+
+.. code:: console
+
+ vpp# set interface l2 bridge GigabitEthernet0/a/0.200 200 1
+
+Example of how to remove an interface from a Layer2 bridge-domain:
+
+.. code:: console
+
+ vpp# set interface l3 GigabitEthernet0/a/0.200
+

+
+Declaration and Implementation
+------------------------------
+
+**Declaration:** int_l2_bridge_cli (src/vnet/l2/l2_input.c line 949)
+
+**Implementation:** int_l2_bridge
+
+Set Interface MTU
+=================
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+ set interface mtu [packet|ip4|ip6|mpls] <value> <interface>
+
+Set Interface Promiscuous
+=========================
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+ set interface promiscuous [on|off] <interface>.
+
+.. _setintstate:
+
+Set Interface State
+===================
+
+This command is used to change the admin state (up/down) of an
+interface.
+
+If an interface is down, the optional *punt* flag can also be set. The
+*punt* flag implies the interface is disabled for forwarding but punt
+all traffic to slow-path. Use the *enable* flag to clear *punt* flag
+(interface is still down).
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+ set interface state <interface> [up|down|punt|enable].
+
+.. _example-usage-2:
+
+Example Usage
+-------------
+
+Example of how to configure the admin state of an interface to **up**:
+
+.. code:: console
+
+ vpp# set interface state GigabitEthernet2/0/0 up
+
+Example of how to configure the admin state of an interface to **down**:
+
+.. code:: console
+
+ vpp# set interface state GigabitEthernet2/0/0 down
