Sphinx has been complaining about a number of reStructuredText warnings
for a while. Fix all the ones in .rst files.
Not asking for review because this is docs only and changing .rst files
can't break anything important.
DONTBUILD (NPOTB)
The Files sub-context allows us to attach metadata to files based on
pattern matching rules.
Patterns are matched against files in a last-write-wins fashion.
The sub-context defines the BUG_COMPONENT variable, which is a 2-tuple
(actually a named tuple) defining the Bugzilla product and component for
files. There are no consumers yet. But an eventual use case will be to
suggest a bug component for a patch/commit. Another will be to
automatically suggest a bug component for a failing test.

There are, sadly, many combinations of linkage in use throughout the tree.
The main differentiator, though, is between program/libraries related to
Gecko or not. Kind of. Some need mozglue, some don't. Some need dependent
linkage, some standalone.
Anyways, these new templates remove the need to manually define the
right dependencies against xpcomglue, nspr, mozalloc and mozglue
in most cases.
Places that build programs and were resetting MOZ_GLUE_PROGRAM_LDFLAGS
or that build libraries and were resetting MOZ_GLUE_LDFLAGS can now
just not use those Gecko-specific templates.
A new moz.build-based build backend for Visual Studio project generation
has been added. The build backend can be used by specifying
'VisualStudio' to the backend option of config.status or mach
build-backend. e.g. `mach build-backend -b VisualStudio`.
Usage docs have been added to build/docs/visualstudio.rst.
Metrics for Sync have been added to Firefox Health Report. If Sync is
not configured, we'll report that fact and the supported and preferred
Sync protocols (1.1 or 1.5).
If Sync is configured, we report the daily counts of sync attempts and
how many are successful vs errored. We also report daily counts of the
device types attached to the account.
JAR_MANIFESTS can now be defined in moz.build files. However, due to
limitations in rules.mk, only 1 file may be defined at a time. In the
future, this restriction will be lifted. But first, better support for
JAR manifests in the build config must be built.
rules.mk will be updated in the subsequent conversion patch so this
patch applied alone doesn't break the build.
