docs: Document cross-referencing between documentation pages

The syntax to cross-reference between documentation pages wasn't
documented anywhere.

Document the cross-referencing using the new automarkup for
Documentation/... and also Sphinx's doc directive for using relative
paths.

Cross-referencing
-----------------
Cross-referencing from one documentation page to another can be done by passing
the path to the file starting from the Documentation folder.
For example, to cross-reference to this page (the .rst extension is optional)::
See Documentation/doc-guide/sphinx.rst.
If you want to use a relative path, you need to use Sphinx's ``doc`` directive.
For example, referencing this page from the same directory would be done as::
See :doc:`sphinx`.
For information on cross-referencing to kernel-doc functions or types, see
Documentation/doc-guide/kernel-doc.rst.
