When an element in the schema does not have an acrn:applicable-vms or
acrn:views (as opposed to having the attribute with an empty value,
acrn:views="") we need to look up the ancestors to see if any of them
have an element with such an attribute defined. If non of the ancestors
have that attribute defined, then the intrepretation is that the element
can be found for all VMs or for both basic and advanced tabs.
Tweak the xslt processing of the schema data to option config doc to
reflect these semantics.

Change the generated config option documentation to use the DX-friendly
names defined for the configurator UI (instead of the XML element name
hierarchy previously used).
Options are grouped by the top-level section (aka complex type) they
belong to and then sorted alphabetically with these groups.
Use badges to indicate where options can be found in the configurator UI
and whether they're applicable to the Hypervisor or Pre/Post/Service VM.
Add a custom css style for the config-option doc that puts the first
paragraph of a glossary item on the same line as the glossary term so
these badges look pretty.
Added a acrn-custom.js patch that copies the alt text for images into a
title property for images within the config-doc document. This provides
tooltip text when hovering over the badges.
Don't display options not visible in the configurator UI (elements with
acrn:views="").
A missing acrn:views or acrn:applicable-vm means we look for an
applicable value from an ancestor element.
Add processing of a second xs:documentation element within an
xs:annotation element. This second documentation element's content will
be appended as a new paragraph to the first xs:documentation content in
the generated documentation. Only the first xs:documentation element is
used by the Configurator for its tooltips.
Update documents that were referring to options by their XML names.
Because we're now using a glossary to provide links to config options,
we can't duplicate option names or glosary names anywhere in the doc
set.

The read-the-docs theme uses a reduced font size within tables. The CSS
used though is overly restrictive and doesn't properly handle tables
containing lists or other constructs where the paragraph tags don't have
the <td> tag within the table as the immediate parent. Add an
overriding style in our custom CSS to fix this so the font size on lists
within a table are the same as normal paragraphs within a table.

Instead of trying to maintain the release notes for old releases in the
current release, reference them in a previous archive. This eliminates
the need to fix doc build errors by editing old release notes that
reference material that no longer exists in the newer release.
We use the intersphinx extension to support references to
Sphinx-generated content from other projects. In our case, we're
referencing the archived version of v2.7 documents that was the last
release to generate release notes for all previous releases. This import
is done in conf.py.
(Alternatively we could reference the release notes for a release in
that specific release's archive, but that means fetchind the intersphinx
inventory file (objects.inv) for every release, and seems like
overkill.)
This modification still allows putting multiple release notes in the
doc/release_notes folder and they'll show up in the release notes index
as they have in the past. Update the separate "archived" release notes
section manually as needed.
Also, adds a draft of the v3.0 release notes to verify the new release
notes index page layout.

Instead of using a Boolean variable indicating whether a build is for debug
or release, it is more intuitive to specify the build types as "debug" or

option RELEASE=<y or n> is also preserved.

We plan to add the following attributes to element definitions in the XML
schema:
- acrn:applicable-vms, which specify if an element applies to a
pre-launched VM, the service VM or a post-launched VM
- acrn:views, which specify if an element shall appear in the basic or
advanced tab in the configurator.
In order to reduce the attributes above to existing XML technologies, we
need to create new complex types that lists all config items that applies
to a pre-launched VM, the service VM or a post-launched VM, or that should
be shown in the basic or advanced view. Such types can then be used to
replace the original, all-in-one type during validation or configurator
rendering.
When unspecified, an element always applies under all possible
circumstances.
To realize this slicing mechanism, this patch adds a generic class
implementing the common part of slicing XML schema types and two
specific-purpose slicers according to the applicable VMs or views
attributes.
v2 -> v3:
* Update configdoc.xsl to recognize types in xs:alternative nodes.
