Add a new Sphinx extension that knows about the translations of kernel
documentation and can insert links to the translations at the top of
the document.

It basically works like this:

1. Register a new node type, LanguagesNode.

2. Register a new transform, TranslationsTransform, that inserts a new
    LanguageNode at the top of every document. The LanguageNode contains
    "pending references" to translations of the document. The key here
    is that these are pending (i.e. unresolved) references that may or
    may not actually exist.

3. Register a 'doctree-resolved' event that iterates over all the
    LanguageNode nodes. Any unresolved references are filtered out; the
    list of resolved references is passed to the 'translations.html'
    template and rendered as an HTML node (if HTML output is selected).

Testing: make htmldocs, make latexdocs with Sphinx v4.3.2 and Firefox.

Oh no, there's still a problem. If I run make htmldocs, make latexdocs,
make htmldocs, then all the translation menus disappear from the HTML.

So ignore this for now.

If anybody has a solution feel free to respond with it.

Wait, no, I was accidentally browsing the wrong site *facepalm*

It works and the v2 patch is still correct, as far as I can tell.

I have covid and a fever so chalking it down to that. I will stop
posting until I'm recovered.
