That .pod file will now be converted to .html using the same style as
the individual local documents that it links to.
The dbdToHtml output files now include a header and footer that link to
the ComponentReference.html file (they started pointing to the original
RecordReference.html but that was broken on most people's builds because
we weren't converting that from the original Markdown version).
This commit also adjusts documentation/Makefile to use the build system
properly, and reorders the Doxygen main page index.
Replace epicsThreadSleep() with proper thread synchronization.
The main thread was reading runCount without taking lock first.
Taking the lock before accessing doneCount might not be necessary
given the epicsEventMustWait(), but not 100% sure.
It's rare, but menu fields may hold a value that does not correspond
to one of the menu choices; the default value of the SSCN fields is
the most common example (65535). Change the type conversion routines
to return a numeric string instead of giving an error.
DBF_DEVICE was fixed in dbFastLinkConv.c before the 7.0.7 release.
* The build can't descend into external submodules when there is no
configure/RULES_TOP file present in $(INSTALL_LOCATION).
* Recreate modules/RELEASE.<host>.local if configure/CONFIG_SITE or
configure/CONFIG_SITE.local have changed.
* Move the distclean of modules/RELEASE.<host>.local to RULES_TOP
* Several comment and white-space changes

leads to something like this:
CA.Client.Exception...............................................
Warning: "Empty PV search address list"
Source File: ../udpiiu.cpp line 403
Current Time: Thu Jun 09 2022 10:10:47.804161447
Problem desription:
addAddrToChannelAccessAddressList() will collect what ever we specify in
EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST for channel access.
That function will add IP-addresses to the search list.
hostnames are possible, but are ignored if longer than 32 bytes,
because buf is too short.
If a hostname can be resolved into an IP, that is fine,
if not that is "fine as well" (better say: silently ignored):
If, and only if, EPICS_CA_AUTO_ADDR_LIST=NO is given then the one
and only too long hostname will be ignored and lead to an
"Empty PV search address list".
If EPICS_CA_AUTO_ADDR_LIST=YES (or nothing) is specified, the search list
is not empty, and EPICS will search all broadcast addresses.
This will eventually lead into a timout.
Solution:
Increase the buf size in addAddrToChannelAccessAddressList() from 32 to 256
The maximum length for a hostname is 255:
https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1034.txt
If we add one byte for the string terminating '\0', we need 256 bytes.
And yes, this patch neglets the fact that a user can specify HOSTNAME:PORT,
which may need another 6 bytes. To put it the other way around:
In this case the hostname length is limited to 250 bytes,
which is still long enough in practice.
