Breathe and doxygen work best for C++, but we're using C. This shows up
as API documentaiton having a C++ flavor (modules and classes) instead
of the expected C flavor. We really need to upgrade the versions of
doxygen and breathe to newer versions, and this configuration tweak
prepares for this. (It will need CI coordination to update these tools,
but the changes in this PR are compatible with the current older tools.)

Links to files in the GitHub repo's master branch should be to the files
within the branch being generated. For example, in the v2.1
documentation, links should be to the v2.1 branch contents. (Previously
links were being made to the master branch in all our archived content.)
This creates a problem when we want to remove an obsolete file in the
master branch but can't because older documentaiton incorrectly depends
on it.
This new extension defines a :acrn_file: and :acrn_raw: role that will
create links to the given file within the current commit branch.
This PR also replaces docs with hard-coded links to files in the master
branch with uses of these new roles to create links to files.

Sphinx generates a full-site index (headings, terms, function names,
etc.) but we haven't been linking to it. This is a tricky way to get
the site index added to the left nav that appears to work, by creating a
genindex.rst that we can link to in the site toctree so it shows up in
the leftnav, but the generated genindex.html for the dummy genindex.rst
will be overwritten by the sphinx created genindex.html with the
full-site index.

ACRN 2.1 supports two virtual boot modes, deprivilege boot mode and
direct boot mode. The deprivilege boot mode’s main purpose is to support
booting Clear Linux Service VM with UEFI service support, but this
brings scalability problems when porting ACRN to new Intel platforms.
For the 2.2 release, deprivilege mode is removed, and only direct boot
is supported, and with this we've removed support for Clear Linux as the
service VM, which impacts over 50 ACRN documents. This PR removes
documents we don't intend to update, and fixes broken links that would
occur from references to these deleted docs.
