Previously, a cross-reference to another document could only be created by writing the full path to the document starting from the Documentation/ directory. Extend this to also allow relative paths to be used. A relative path would be just the path, like ../filename.rst, while the absolute path still needs to start from Documentation, like Documentation/filename.rst. As part of this change, the .rst extension is now required for both types of paths, since not requiring it would cause the regex to be too generic.

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 Restructured Text 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.
