Dan Nicholson e19840a252 docs: Copy in API docs and add link
Make a copy of `apidoc/html` to `docs/reference` and then tell Jekyll to
include it verbatim. This will include the gtk-doc API docs on the
static site. A link is added to the main index.

A script is added to do the copy (a symlink won't do) and is setup to
run before Jekyll in the GitHub workflow. Ideally this would be a local
Jekyll plugin to make the process automatic, but the github-pages gem
doesn't allow that.

This documentation is written in Jekyll format to be published on GitHub Pages. The rendered HTML will be automatically built and published, but you can also use Jekyll locally to test changes.

First you need to install Ruby and RubyGems to get Jekyll and the other gem dependencies. This is easiest using the distro's packages. On RedHat systems this is rubygems and on Debian systems this is ruby-rubygems.

Next Bundler is needed to install the gems using the provided Gemfile. You can do this by running gem install bundler or using distro packages. On RedHat systems this is rubygem-bundler and on Debian systems this is ruby-bundler.

Now you can prepare the Jekyll environment. Change to this directory and run:

bundle config set --local path vendor/bundle
bundle install

Finally, run the prep-docs.sh script and then render and serve the site locally with Jekyll:

./prep-docs.sh
bundle exec jekyll serve
