The lack of documentation has been a long standing issue in the Static Analyzer,
and one of the leading reasons behind this was a lack of good documentation
infrastucture.
This lead serious drawbacks, such as
* Not having proper release notes for years
* Not being able to have a sensible auto-generated checker documentations (which
lead to most of them not having any)
* The HTML website that has to updated manually is a chore, and has been
outdated for a long while
* Many design discussions are now hidden in phabricator revisions
This patch implements a new documentation infrastucture using Sphinx, like most
of the other subprojects in LLVM. It transformed some pages as a proof-of-
concept, with many others to follow in later patches. The eventual goal is to
preserve the original website's (https://clang-analyzer.llvm.org/) frontpage,
but move everything else to the new format.
Some other ideas, like creating a unipage for each checker (similar to how
clang-tidy works now), are also being discussed.
