docs: conf.py: avoid thousands of duplicate label warning on Sphinx
The autosectionlabel extension is nice, as it allows to refer to
a section by its name without requiring any extra tag to create
a reference name.
However, on its default, it has two serious problems:
1) the namespace is global. So, two files with different
"introduction" section would create a label with the
same name. This is easily solvable by forcing the extension
to prepend the file name with:
autosectionlabel_prefix_document = True
2) It doesn't work hierarchically. So, if there are two level 1
sessions (let's say, one labeled "open" and another one "ioctl")
and both have a level 2 "synopsis" label, both section 2 will
have the same identical name.
Currently, there's no way to tell Sphinx to create an
hierarchical reference like:
open / synopsis
ioctl / synopsis
This causes around 800 warnings. So, the fix should be to
not let autosectionlabel to produce references for anything
that it is not at a chapter level within any doc, with:
autosectionlabel_maxdepth = 2
