Juergen Gross 5fe0b99d7b docs: replace @xxx@ markers at build time
Use the apply-build-vars make macro to replace the @xxx@ markers in
*.in files only at build time.

This allows to change the affected document files without having to
run "configure" for making the change effective.

While at it add the generated files to the distclean make target.

Ian Jackson 9465fac25e docs etc.: https: Fix references to other Xen pages
Change the url scheme to https.  This is all in-tree references to
xenbits and the main website except for those in Config.mk.

We leave Config.mk alone for now because those urls are used by CI
systems and we need to check that nothing breaks when we change the
download method.

Andrew Cooper a2783e97fb docs: Remove Markdown from configure.ac and the build instructions
Now that all use of markdown as been replaced with pandoc, drop it from
configure.ac and from the docs/ Makefile.

Instead of just deleting the markdown reference from README, adjust the line
to mention the other optional packages required for documentation.

Drop markdown from travis, but leave it in the docker containers as they get
used for stable branches as well.

Andrew Cooper 8410fcb54a docs/man: Fix/simplify generation of manpages
The original intent of this patch was to rename xen-vbd-interface.markdown.7
to xen-vbd-interface.pandoc.7 to remove the final markdown file from the docs/
tree.

The DOC_MANx lists are broken.  They contain MANxSRC-y twice, the first half
with a partial %.pod substituation, and the second half with a partial
%.markdown substitution.  This is also the root cause behind the filtering
activity in the uninstall-man$(i)-pages rule.

Furthermore, the logic for generating the manpage targets is unnecesserily
repetative, owing to the layout of source files in the man/ directory.

Therefore, tackle the problem by renaming all of our manpage source files from
"$FORMAT.$SECTION" to "$SECTION.$FORMAT".  For the two xl.cfg.5 and xl.1 which
are preprocessed by autoconf to contain path information, this requires
updating configure.ac and .gitignore.  The markdown to pandoc conversion is
performed as well, as it is also a straight rename.

An ancillary benefit of this renaming is that text editors stand a chance of
being able to work out the correct mode to use.

As for the makefile:

1) Break the MAN_SECTIONS list out of the GENERATE_MANPAGE_RULES loop, as we
   are going to use it a second time.
2) Do away with the individaul MANxSRC-y variables.  Use a single list,
   derived from all *.pod and *.pandoc files, with their format suffixes
   removed.
3) Use a $(foreach ...) to generate the DOC_MANx lists, filling them with the
   correct content.
4) The DOC_HTML and DOC_TXT can now include all manpages with a single
   substitution, as they don't need to separate the manpages by
   section-numbered-directory.
5) Fix up the filenames in the manpage metarule to match the renaming.

No functional change.

Andrew Cooper 7dbfc2f8b0 docs: Honour --{en, dis}able-xend when building docs
If a user has specified --disable-xend, they wont want the manpages either.

Propagating this parameters requires reorganising the way in which the
makefile chooses which documents to build.

There is now a split of {MAN1,MAN5,MARKDOWN,TXT}SRC-y to select which
documentation to build, which is separate from the patsubst section which
generates appropriate paths to trigger the later rules.

The manpages are quite easy to split between xend, xl and xenstore, and have
been.  Items from misc/ are much harder and been left.

Ian Campbell 13d68fab40 tools+stubdom: install under /usr/local by default.
Now that the hotplug scripts have been fixed to remove hardcoded paths lets
try this again. From 26470:acaf29203cf9:

	This is the defacto (or FHS mandated?) standard location for software
	built from source, in order to avoid clashing with packaged software
	which is installed under /usr/bin etc.

	I think there is benefit in having Xen's install behave more like the
	majority of other OSS software out there.

	The major downside here is in the transition from 4.2 to 4.3 where
	people who have built from source will innevitably discover breakage
	because 4.3 no longer overwrites stuff in /usr like it used to so they
	pickup old stale bits from /usr instead of new stuff from /usr/local.

	Packages will use ./configure --prefix=/usr or whatever helper macro
	their package manager gives them. I have confirmed that doing this
	results in the same list of installed files as before this patch was
	applied.

	The hypervisor remains in /boot/ and there is no intention to move it.

Ian Campbell 9db0ad0f46 docs: check for documentation generation tools in docs/configure.
It is sometimes hard to discover all the optional tools that should be
on a system to build all available Xen documentation. By checking for
documentation generation tools at ./configure time and displaying a
warning, Xen packagers will more easily learn about new optional build
dependencies, like markdown, when they are introduced.

Based on a patch by Matt Wilson. Changed to use a separate
docs/configure which is called from the top-level in the same manner
as stubdoms.

Rerun autogen.sh and "git add docs/configure" after applying this patch.
