Add documentation for building the documentation. A basic primer for building the documentation. Lots that could be added, but it's a start.

Clean up dividers in the documentation. Dividers were used in some files, but not others, and some had section names (which are hard to maintain) and others did not. Try to make this more consistent by putting a divider on front of every section, variable block, and wherever else seems appropriate.

<p>The <backrest/> documentation can output a variety of formats and target several platforms and <postgres/> versions.</p>
<p>This will build all documentation with defaults:</p>

Use Rocky Linux for documentation builds instead of CentOS. Since CentOS 8 will be EOL at the end of the year it makes sense to do this now. The centos:8 image is still used in documentation.xml because changes there require manual testing, which will need to be done at a later date. The changes are not user-facing, however, and can be done at any time. Also update CentOS references to RHEL since that is what we are emulating for testing purposes.

Consolidate RHEL/CentOS user guide into a single document. The user guide was split primarily to provide documentation for the stop-auto option in PostgreSQL <= 9.5. Now that 9.5 is EOL there does not seem to be a good reason to generate an extra user guide. The stop-auto function is still documented in the reference. Leave the stop-auto documentation in the user guide in case we want to manually generate documentation for older versions. Also rename centos to rhel for most identifiers since that is the core platform we are building for, similar to how we label 'debian' builds even though we generally use Ubuntu. With CentOS set to become an upstream for RHEL later this year, we'll likely need to pick a new test distribution, perhaps Rocky Linux if that gets off the ground.

<p>Documentation generation will build a cache of all executed statements and use the cache to build the documentation quickly if no executed statements have changed. This makes proofing text-only edits very fast, but sometimes it is useful to do a full build without using the cache:</p>
