bebe66feae tree-wide: make the :doc: directive use absolute paths
This makes all :doc: directives use an absolute paths (with the root
directory being documentation/ in the repo).

This is then consistent across the whole source and is easier to review
and move files around, you just need to know where a file is located
relative to documentation/ directory and use that.

This gets rid of paths looking in parent directory with '..' as well as
expecting a file to be in the same directory as the other file it points
to via the :doc: directive.

474742f808 ref-manual: classes: nativesdk: move note to appropriate section
The nativesdk- prefix to the recipe filename should only be used when
using the inherit method as the BBCLASSEXTEND method will do some magic
when generating the "implicit" name of the recipe.

This matches the instructions for the native class.

d349e792c1 ref-manual: classes: reword to clarify that native/nativesdk options are exclusive
We explain how to create a native (nativesdk) recipe in two different
ways via a bullet list but reading quickly the instructions may mislead
one into doing both options whereas they are incompatible.

This rewords both the nativesdk and native sections so that the second
bullet point starts with an Or and explicit that this applies to target
recipes.

be2eaa114b sphinx-lint: unbalanced inline literal markup
Fix as many instances of unbalanced-inline-literals-delimiters as reported
by 'make sphinx-lint' as possible. Sphinx and/or its linter seem to get
tripped up randomly when references contain links to a heading which
contain literals enclosed in double-back-tics; especially in the cases
where a heading either contains multiple literals or when the literal is
not at the end of the heading. Not all of them can be "fixed" to pass both
building and linting.

512d81b697 ref-manual/variables.rst: update ROOT_HOME documentation
* Since scarthgap [1], the default will be overridden when using
  'systemd' as INIT_MANAGER. Reflect this in the documentation.
* The distro configuration is probably the better place for
  customization, thus at least mention this together with the
  local.conf.
* While at it, drop the probably redundant description on how to
  override weak default variables.
  The example on how to set "/root" is still given indirectly, anyway.

0570d98f1b requirements: move Ubuntu-20.04 into unsupported category due to python
Bitbake commit 0d2e682d00df ("bitbake: lib/bb: Bump minimum python
version requirement to 3.9" -- poky commit 67566c7410) means that
Ubuntu 20.04 is no longer supported out-of-the-box as detailed further
in the respective commit log.

While it is true that it can still be used with buildtools, that can
also be said for nearly every other unsupported distro out there,
including Ubuntu 18.04 that we listed as unsupported some years ago.
Hence continuing to list it as supported with the new python requirement
in place does not make sense.

So we move it alongside of the 18.04 entry, into the "possibly tested,
but you get what you get" category.  And add an explicit mention of the
buildtools, so people have a thread to pull on.
