Improve the suggestions algorithm by using get_close_matches() if
no suggestions with the same name are found. As we're now building
a dict, when the name is identical, but on a different domain,
the search is O(1), making it a lot faster.
The get_close_matches is also fast, as there is just one loop,
instead of 3.
This can be useful to detect typos on references, with could
be the base of a futuere extension that will handle ref unmatches
for the entire build, allowing someone to find typos and fix them.
As difflib and get_close_matches are there since the early
Python 3.x days, we don't need to handle any extra dependencies
to use it.
We're keeping the default values for the search, e.g. n=3, cutoff=0.6.
With that, we now have things like:
$ make SPHINXDIRS="userspace-api/media" htmldocs
...

std🏷️`v4l2-query-ext-ctrl` (from v4l/vidioc-queryctrl)
At the first example, it was not a typo, but a symbol that doesn't
seem to be properly documented. The second example points to
v4l2-queryctrl, which is a close match for the symbol.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
