Create a new "File formats, protocols and other developer interfaces"
section in the main "git help git" manual page and start moving the
documentation that now lives in "Documentation/technical/*.git" over
to it. This complements the newly added and adjacent "Repository,
command and file interfaces" section.
This makes the technical documentation more accessible and
discoverable. Before this we wouldn't install it by default, and had
no ability to build man page versions of them. The links to them from
our existing documentation link to the generated HTML version of these
docs.
So let's start moving those over, starting with just the
"bundle-format.txt" documentation added in 7378ec90e1c (doc: describe
Git bundle format, 2020-02-07). We'll now have a new
gitformat-bundle(5) man page. Subsequent commits will move more git
internal format documentation over.
Unfortunately the syntax of the current Documentation/technical/*.txt
is not the same (when it comes to section headings etc.) as our
Documentation/*.txt documentation, so change the relevant bits of
syntax as we're moving this over.

Have all of the scripts invoked by "make check-docs" emit their output
on STDERR. This does not currently matter due to the way we're
invoking them, but will in a subsequent change. It's a good idea to do
this in any case for consistency with other tools we invoke.

Re-order the sections of a few manual pages to be consistent with the
entirety of the rest of our documentation. This allows us to remove
the just-added whitelist of "bad" order from
lint-man-section-order.perl.
I'm doing that this way around so that code will be easy to dig up if
we'll need it in the future. I've intentionally not added some other
sections such as EXAMPLES to the list of known sections.
If we were to add that we'd find some out of order. Perhaps we'll want
to order those consistently as well in the future, at which point
whitelisting some of them might become handy again.

Add a linting script to check the relative order of the sections in
the documentation. We should have NAME, then SYNOPSIS, DESCRIPTION,
OPTIONS etc. in that order.
That holds true throughout our documentation, except for a few
exceptions which are hardcoded in the linting script.
