This series improves documentation accuracy, adds missing kernel-doc
comments for public C test APIs, and fixes errors across Sphinx docs
and header comments:

- Fix Sphinx configuration paths and git commit URLs, repair JSON
  syntax in shell API examples, and replace hardcoded HTML anchors
  with Sphinx references.
- Correct tutorial instructions, command flags, and file descriptor
  cleanup patterns to adhere to LTP conventions.
- Expand documentation navigation by linking the testers guide in the
  user index and adding an overview for single-host and two-host
  network test setups.
- Add kernel-doc comments for public macros and helpers in
  tst_assert.h, tst_fs.h, tst_memutils.h, and tst_safe_file_ops.h.
- Add tst_common.h and tst_cpu.h to the C API reference documentation.
- Normalize kernel-doc Return tags and fix typographical and grammatical
  errors across header comments.
