72eca47c66 docs: someome -> someone
A typo in the section about choice of language is a bit funny, but
let's fix it anyway ;)

Thanks to Ilia Mirkin for pointing this out.

4f12a42841 docs: write basic meta-documentation
We were previously completely lacking documentation on how to write
documentation. This adds some very basic docs for that.

Maybe at some point this could deserve it's own article, but for now
this seems enough.

This also documents the group-consensus on preferring US English that
was reached on the mesa-dev mailing list[1].

fd91744bd4 docs: change "Fixes:" tag example to match git fixes output
The "Fixes:" tag example has the commit title in double quotes, whereas the
suggested git fixes alias, a couple of lines below, also adds some outer
parenthesis.

Although there doesn't appear to be a consistent format for the "Fixes:" tag,
other than it should be a git commit sha followed by the commit title, the
information in the docs should at least be consistent. As the "Fixes:" tag was
inspired by the Linux kernel, which does have parenthesis, update the example to
match the git fixes output.

b1c16e5251 docs: use ref-links for internal references
Ref-link have two benefits over generic links:

1. They produce the right result for non-HTML outputs
2. They get validated at build-time

So let's use them for internal references instead.
