First 50 patches remove the use of raw HTML passthrough in
formatdomain.rst, which is the only outstanding place which still does.
Is cleaning those up worth breaking links from external sites which
use the old anchors? I thought that was the only reason we left them
there.

Most of the work was done by a ad-hoc bash script, but manual tweaks
were needed. Since this series also contains a test script which
validates linking I'm not going to publish the conversion script.
The rest of the series then cleans up pre-existing broken links and adds
the aforementioned checker script.
One more change is to prevent the use of external references in RST to
refer to the same file. All usage was converted to local references and
a syntax check was added.
One slight drawback of the checker script is that it works on generated
HTML files and thus the error message contains the output file name and
not the source RST document.
