David B. Kinder f71c7a8032 doc: use DX-friendly names in configuration option documentation
Change the generated config option documentation to use the DX-friendly
names defined for the configurator UI (instead of the XML element name
hierarchy previously used).

Options are grouped by the top-level section (aka complex type) they
belong to and then sorted alphabetically with these groups.

Use badges to indicate where options can be found in the configurator UI
and whether they're applicable to the Hypervisor or Pre/Post/Service VM.
Add a custom css style for the config-option doc that puts the first
paragraph of a glossary item on the same line as the glossary term so
these badges look pretty.

Added a acrn-custom.js patch that copies the alt text for images into a
title property for images within the config-doc document.  This provides
tooltip text when hovering over the badges.

Don't display options not visible in the configurator UI (elements with
acrn:views="").

A missing acrn:views or acrn:applicable-vm means we look for an
applicable value from an ancestor element.

Add processing of a second xs:documentation element within an
xs:annotation element. This second documentation element's content will
be appended as a new paragraph to the first xs:documentation content in
the generated documentation. Only the first xs:documentation element is
used by the Configurator for its tooltips.

Update documents that were referring to options by their XML names.

Because we're now using a glossary to provide links to config options,
we can't duplicate option names or glosary names anywhere in the doc
set.

Common Option Value Types
*************************
Within this option documentation, we refer to some common type
definitions:
Boolean
A true or false value specified as either ``y`` or ``n``.
Hexadecimal
A base-16 (integer) value represented by a leading ``0x`` or ``0X`` followed by
one or more characters ``0`` to ``9``, ``a`` to ``f``, or ``A`` to ``F``.
Integer
A base-10 value represented by the characters ``0`` to ``9``. The
first character must not be a ``0``. Only positive values are
expected.
String
A sequence of UTF-8 characters. String-length limits or specific
string value restrictions are defined in the option description.
