Merge tag 'docs-7.0' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/docs/linux

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
 "A slightly calmer cycle for docs this time around, though there is
  still a fair amount going on, including:

   - Some signs of life on the long-moribund Japanese translation

   - Documentation on policies around the use of generative tools for
     patch submissions, and a separate document intended for consumption
     by generative tools

   - The completion of the move of the documentation tools to
     tools/docs. For now we're leaving a /scripts/kernel-doc symlink
     behind to avoid breaking scripts

   - Ongoing build-system work includes the incorporation of
     documentation in Python code, better support for documenting
     variables, and lots of improvements and fixes

   - Automatic linking of man-page references -- cat(1), for example --
     to the online pages in the HTML build

  ...and the usual array of typo fixes and such"
