[PATCH 0/2] Documentation: html: show sections in the sidebar

The current sidebar in the HTML version of the documentation does not
display the section titles because the toctree directives in the
top-level index.rst document do not contain ":caption:" properties.
Replacing the current section titles by ":caption:" properties would not
allow having text between those and the table of contents.

To workaround this issue, add the ":caption:" properties in the toctree
calls which makes them show up in the sidenbar, but hide them from the
index page with a custom CSS addition.

Additionally, make the section titles in the sidebar bold to make them
stand-out.

This makes the overall structure of the documentation clearer from the
sidebar directly.

PS: This is how I've implemented this in the Yocto Project
documentation[1] where I faced the same issue. See also the index.rst
file[2] (which was by the way inspired by the kernel's own index.rst)
and CSS addition[3].
