[PATCH v2] docs: automatic redirects for moved pages

[Costa Shulyupin]

Problems:
- The documentation is not well-organized
- Relocating pages disrupts external links to
  the documentation and causes confusion for users

Benefits:
- Users can easily access relocated pages from external resources
- Using redirects frees up options for reorganizing the documentation

The solution:
- To prevent the need for ongoing maintenance, extract renames
  from git log since specified age
- Input the renames into sphinx_reredirects module

Signed-off-by: Costa Shulyupin <costa.shul@xxxxxxxxxx>

Changes:
- added the extraction of renames from Git.
