Some documentation pages contain long C API signatures that can exceed
the content width and cause page-wide horizontal scroll overflow.
Apply contained horizontal scrolling to C API description blocks and
keep their signature rows on one line. This preserves signature
formatting while preventing them from breaking page layout.
Contained horizontal scrolling is preferred over wrapping here because
code fidelity is the priority. These blocks are intended to remain
representative of the code itself. Wrapping distorts spacing and line
structure, which affects fidelity, creates misleading renderings, and
reduces readability.

Some documentation pages contain long inline literals in paragraph
text that can force page-wide horizontal scroll overflow and break
layout on smaller screens.
Override the default `span.pre` white-space behavior for inline
literals and use `overflow-wrap: anywhere` so they can wrap when
needed. For code used as part of a paragraph, wrapping is appropriate
because it is stylistically part of the surrounding text. Code blocks,
by contrast, are meant to preserve formatting fidelity and are better
served by contained horizontal scrolling.

The Sphinx Alabaster theme uses border-bottom to mark reference links; the
result does not render correctly (the underline is missing) in some browser
configurations. Switch to using the standard text-underline property, and
use text-underline-offset to place that underline below any underscores in
the underlined text.

Add a new Sphinx extension that knows about the translations of kernel
documentation and can insert links to the translations at the top of
the document.
It basically works like this:
1. Register a new node type, LanguagesNode.
2. Register a new transform, TranslationsTransform, that inserts a new
LanguageNode at the top of every document. The LanguageNode contains
"pending references" to translations of the document. The key here
is that these are pending (i.e. unresolved) references that may or
may not actually exist.
3. Register a 'doctree-resolved' event that iterates over all the
LanguageNode nodes. Any unresolved references are filtered out; the
list of resolved references is passed to the 'translations.html'
template and rendered as an HTML node (if HTML output is selected).
Testing: make htmldocs, make latexdocs with Sphinx v4.3.2 and Firefox.
v2:
- changed bar into a drop-down menu
- fixed language labels
- fixed hysteresis reported by Akira Yokosawa

The docs currently have <h3> and <h4> set to the same font size which
makes headings hard to distinguish. <h1> to <h3> already have entries in
sphinx-static/custom.css to shrink their size a bit from the alabaster
theme.
Add <h4> to custom.css and set it to be smaller than <h3>.

Add a new sidebar template that creates a more RTD-like "fisheye" view of
the current place in the document hierarchy. It is far from ideal, but
some readers may find it better for navigating through the documentation as
a whole.
Add some CSS trickery as well to make the table of contents less intrusive
when viewing the pages on a small screen.

The alabaster theme likes to provide explicit sizes for fonts, which
overrides the users's own browser settings and is guaranteed to displease
folks. Set the font size to "inherit" so that the users browser settings
control the font size they get. We can use the font_size configuration
option for the main body font (changing the size I'd already put there),
but the sidebar size can only be set via custom CSS.

Make a few changes to cause functions documented by kerneldoc to stand out
better in the rendered documentation. Specifically, change kernel-doc to
put the description section into a ".. container::" section, then add a bit
of CSS to indent that section relative to the function prototype (or struct
or enum definition). Tweak a few other CSS parameters while in the
neighborhood to improve the formatting.

This is just the beginning: tighten up the layout a bit to improve the
information density in the browser. Also reconfigure the page width in
terms of character units (em) rather than pixels, making it more
display-independent. To that end, add a custom.css file to
tweak Alabaster CSS settings.
