Martí Bolívar 4ba332aca8 doc: rename reference/stability to reference/overview
This page has a lot more information about APIs than just stability,
and I believe it's currently our only exhaustive list of APIs.

Rename it to API Overview.

Carles Cufi b6ee5fca8e doc: api: Clean up and reorganize a bit
Move the section describing the requirements for a new API out of the
peripheral API header, clarify the requirements for upgrading an API to

Ulf Magnusson 984bfae831 global: Remove leading/trailing blank lines in files
Remove leading/trailing blank lines in .c, .h, .py, .rst, .yml, and
.yaml files.

Will avoid failures with the new CI test in
https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/ci-tools/pull/112, though it only
checks changed files.

Move the 'target-notes' target in boards/xtensa/odroid_go/doc/index.rst
to get rid of the trailing blank line there. It was probably misplaced.

Alberto Escolar Piedras 52f6f6b960 doc: API lifecycle: Require creating a issue to track removal
As discussed in the TSC meeting of 2019/03/27:
To ensure that we do not forget to remove an API 2 releases later
and to provide a bit better visibility about when the removal
is planned, require that a GH issue be created, and that this
issue be added to the roadmap for the apropriate release.

As a free bonus:
Removed a redundant line in the list and added one missing article.
