James Clark 7cc4c09269 docs: automarkup.py: Fix invalid HTML link output and broken URI fragments 
Since commit d18b01789a ("docs: Add automatic cross-reference for
documentation pages"), references that were already explicitly defined
with "ref:" and referred to other pages with a path have been doubled.
This is reported as the following error by Firefox:

  Start tag "a" seen but an element of the same type was already open.
  End tag "a" violates nesting rules.

As well as the invalid HTML, this also obscures the URI fragment links
to subsections because the second link overrides the first. For example
on the page admin-guide/hw-vuln/mds.html the last link should be to the
"Default Mitigations" subsection using a # URI fragment:

  admin-guide/hw-vuln/l1tf.html#default-mitigations

But it is obsured by a second link to the whole page:

  admin-guide/hw-vuln/l1tf.html

The full HTML with the double <a> tags looks like this:

  <a class="reference internal" href="l1tf.html#default-mitigations">
    <span class="std std-ref">
      <a class="reference internal" href="l1tf.html">
        <span class="doc">L1TF - L1 Terminal Fault</span>
      </a>
    </span>
  </a>

After this commit, there is only a single link:

  <a class="reference internal" href="l1tf.html#default-mitigations">
    <span class="std std-ref">Documentation/admin-guide/hw-vuln//l1tf.rst</span>
  </a>

Now that the second link is removed, the browser correctly jumps to the
default-mitigations subsection when clicking the link.

The fix is to check that nodes in the document to be modified are not
already references. A reference is counted as any text that is a
descendant of a reference type node. Only plain text should be converted
to new references, otherwise the doubling occurs.

Testing
=======

 * Test that the build stdout is the same (ignoring ordering), and that
   no new warnings are printed.

 * Diff all .html files and check that the only modifications occur
   to the bad double links.

 * The auto linking of bare references to pages without "ref:" is still
   working.
