maintain.
- Move much of the output rendering into Jinja2 templates.
- Add syscfg siphon type for startup config documentation.
- Add sample syscfg documentation.
- Add clicfg and syscfg preamble docs, adapted from their wiki pages.
- Fix sorting of CLI items across multiple directories.

- Fix issue in Doxy dependency check when nothing needs to be installed.
'set -e' and plain '[]' logic don't mix well.
- Fix Makefile snafu when building Doxy output for a single file.
- Include only one of vnet/vnet/buffer.c/dpdk_buffer.c in docs depending on
DPDKness. This could do with some improvement in future, eg to properly
align the pre-doxy steps with what Doxy does.
- Fix rendering of 'inline' tag in Doxygen by having it interpret
always_inline as "inline static".
- Bunch of duplicate CLI command structure names that confused docs and may
one day have caused debugging issues.
- Several other Doxygen syntax issues fixed, like documenting non-existant
parameters (usually just the wrong parameter name, typos, etc)

As a step before Doxygen, extract CLI-related struct initializers
from the code and parse that into a summary of the CLI commands
available with the provided help text, such as it is. At the moment
this only renders this into an indexed Markdown file that Doxygen
then picks up but later we can use this information to enrich the
existing VLIB_CLI_COMMAND macro documentor as well as provide
runtime documentation to VPP that is stored on disk outside the
binary image.
Additionally support a comment block immediately prior to
VLIB_CLI_COMMAND CLI command definitions in the form /*? ... ?*/
that can be used to include long-form documentation without having
it compiled into VPP.
Examples of documenting CLI commands can be found in
vlib/vlib/unix/cli.c which, whilst not perfect, should provide a
starting point. Screen captures of sample output can be seen at
https://chrisy.flirble.org/vpp/doxy-cli-example.png and
https://chrisy.flirble.org/vpp/doxy-cli-index.png .
Next, shift the Doxygen root makefile targets to their own Makefile.
The primary reason for this is that the siphon targets do dependency
tracking which means it needs to generate those dependencies whenever
make is run; that is pointless if we're not going to generate any
documentation. This includes the package dependencies since they since
they sometimes unnecessarily interfere with the code build in some cases
at the moment; later we will look to building a Python venv to host the
Python modules we use.
One final remark: In future we may consider deprecating .long_help
in the VLIB_CLI_COMMAND structure entirely but add perhaps .usage_help.
.short_help would be reserved for a summary of the command function
and .usage_help provide the syntax of that command. These changes would
provide great semantic value to the automaticly generated CLI
documentation. I could also see having .long_help replaced by a
mechanism that reads it from disk at runtime with a rudimentary
Markdown/Doxygen filter so that we can use the same text that is used in
the published documentation.
