Documentation for 4.9
[Note you'll get a small conflict with Documentation/sphinx-static/theme_overrides.css; just take the docs-4.9 side. That's entirely the result of me still figuring out the best fix-vs-features workflow, shouldn't happen again.]
The following changes since commit29b4817d4018df78086157ea3a55c1d9424a7cfc:

----------------------------------------------------------------
This is the documentation update pull for the 4.9 merge window.
The Sphinx transition is still creating a fair amount of work. Here we have a number of fixes and, importantly, a proper PDF output solution, thanks to Jani Nikula, Mauro Carvalho Chehab and Markus Heiser.
I've started a couple of new books: a driver API book (based on the old device-drivers.tmpl) and a development tools book. Both are meant to show how we can integrate together our existing documentation into a more coherent and accessible whole. It involves moving some stuff around and formatting changes, but, I think, the results are worth it. The good news is that most of our existing Documentation/*.txt files are *almost* in RST format already; the amount of messing around required is minimal.
And, of course, there's the usual set of updates, typo fixes, and more.
