FYI: Conversion from TexInfo (.texi) to Sphinx/ReStructuredText (rst)

[Tobias Burnus]

Hi Fortraners,

as it was mostly discussed at gcc@ and gcc-patches@,
there are plans to move to .rst and process it with Sphinx
instead of .texi (TexInfo) for the GCC documentation.

* Sphinx: https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/
* RST: https://docutils.sourceforge.io/rst.html

Autoconversion result of the GCC files:
* https://splichal.eu/scripts/sphinx/

Discussion at gcc@ / gcc-patches@:
* https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc/2021-June/thread.html#236172
* https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc/2021-May/thread.html#236043
   + https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc/2021-June/236265.html

Cheers,

Tobias
