2e0f8b5a70 docs: speed up incremental builds
On each documentation build (‘make html’), doxygen regenerates XML
files. In addition to that, gen-dxd.py regenerates API reference
files under _build/inc/. This results in Sphinx flagging about half
of the input files as modified, and incremental builds taking long
time.

With this change, XML files generated by Doxygen are copied into
docs/xml_in directory only when they are changed. Breathe is pointed
to docs/xml_in directory instead of docs/xml. In addition to that,
gen-dxd.py is modified to only write to the output file when contents
change.

Overall, incremental build time (with no source files changed) is
reduced from ~7 minutes to ~8 seconds (on a particular OS X
computer).

Due to the way Breathe includes Doxygen XML files, there is still
going to be a massive rebuild every time functions, enums, macros,
structures are added or removed from the header files scanned
by Doxygen, but at least individual .rst files can be edited
at a much faster pace.

15072028c4 docs: use custom roles to generate GitHub links
This change replaces direct links to GitHub master branch with
auto-generated links using docutils custom roles.
These auto-generated links point to the tree or blob for the git commit
ID (or tag) of the repository. This is needed to ensure that links don’t
become broken when files in master branch are moved around or deleted.

The following roles are introduced:

- :idf:`path` - points to directory inside ESP-IDF
- :idf_blob:`path` - points to file inside ESP-IDF
- :idf_raw:`path` - points to raw view of the file inside ESP-IDF
- :component:`path` - points to directory inside ESP-IDF components dir
- :component_blob:`path` - points to file inside ESP-IDF components dir
- :component_raw:`path` - points to raw view of the file inside ESP-IDF
  components dir
- :example:`path` - points to directory inside ESP-IDF examples dir
- :example_blob:`path` - points to file inside ESP-IDF examples dir
- :example_raw:`path` - points to raw view of the file inside ESP-IDF
  examples dir

A check is added to the CI build script, which searches RST files for
presence of hard-coded links (identified by tree/master, blob/master,
or raw/master part of the URL).
This check can be run manually: cd docs && make gh-linkcheck

Additionally, Sphinx linkcheck build type is used to create new CI test,
which check for broken links. This test has to be triggered explicitly,
because including it in normal build process (when the commit is not yet
deployed to Github) will not work. It can be triggered in a regular
fashion using a combination of cron and Curl, similar to stress tests.
