3f19af6b53 Documents stop_arg!=0 when stop_src=TRIG_NONE
This patch documents the new interpretation of stop_arg when stop_src ==
TRIG_NONE.  In the new interpretation, if stop_src==TRIG_NONE, a user may
specify that a buffer of finite length (and less than or equal to the
maximum buffer size) be repeated indefinitely.

For now, only the NI MIO driver implements this new interpretation.  All
other drivers should continue to force stop_arg==0 when
stop_src==TRIG_NONE.  In this case, the old behavior is maintained.

16142b8d9c doc: add information about using the National Instrument GPCT
The counter interface might eventually be changed to a more generic one.
However, for now it's good to have something documented on how things work.

dbe3c77a3d doc/other.xml: Add extra details about range and aref.
Add extra detail to the section on acquisition functions about the
range and aref parameters, and describe the comedi_range type.

The whole section is still a bit higgledy-piggledy and could do with
some rearrangement one day!

df4d8963de doc/other.xml, reference.xml: Slowly varying inputs and comedi triggers
Mention that the stuff that relies on the COMEDI_TRIG ioctl, including
the slowly varying input (comedi_sv_...) functions no longer work with
current versions of the Comedi kernel layer.

Moved <link> tags inside <function>, <type>, <constant> etc. tags so
fonts stay a bit more consistent.

as deprecated elsewhere in the document.

e7a3e54042 doc/other.xml: Make table of configuration instructions less ugly.
The PDF output of the table of configurations was awful.  Fiddled with
the column widths a bit and simplified the layout "Meanings of data[1],..."
column to allow it to wrap.
