Disable building of Japanese translation since it is now very incomplete
The Japanese string translations haven't been updated since 2015,
except where I updated untranslated text such as URLs. As a result,
the Japanese version of the manual currently contains a lot of text in
English. Until this is fixed, stop building the translated manual and
package.

Makefile: Generalise translated build target
The rest of the Makefile is written to support multiple translations,
but the actual build was specific to Japanese. Fix that.

Briefly document interaction of Secure Boot with OOT modules
Refer to the wiki for the details of how to use mokutil, rather
than duplicating that work.
Adjust some wording to account for this extra subsection.

Document DKMS as the preferred method for OOT module builds
The kernel team has been encouraging use of DKMS since the "squeeze"
release, and far more modules are now packaged for use with it. So
list DKMS first.

Replace the long explanation of using module-assistant with just "m-a a-i"
Since "m-a a-i" covers the entire process, it doesn't seem very
helpful to give the long explanation as well. We already refer to the
module-assistant documentation for details.

Remove long-outdated reference to binary module packages in the archive
These binary module packages were built from the
linux-modules-{extra,contrib,nonfree}-2.6 source package, which were
dropped before the squeeze release(!).
nvidia-graphics-modules carried on building binary module packages
for a while, but was dropped before the stretch release.

Fix reference to GRUB documentation, and drop reference to LILO
We currently suggest running "man grub", but there is no general man

LILO was removed some time ago.

Document when and where a maintainer or submitter should report upstream
We currently only talk about asking submitters to report to an
upstream bug tracker. However, in most cases bugs should be reported
to a mailing list, and this can be done by a maintainer.
- Generalise the "Analysis by maintainer" and "Testing by submitter"
headings to "Responsibility of the {maintainer,submitter}"
- Add a subsection explaining how to find the right place, including
the stable mailing list
- Add forwarding to a mailing list under "Responsibility of the
maintainer"
- Change the text about reporting to an upstream bug tracker to
refer to the new subsection

Refer to bug trackers generally, not specifically bugzilla.kernel.org
bugzilla.kernel.org is not that popular with upstream maintainers and
shouldn't be assumed as the default bug tracker. The MAINTAINERS file
now has B: entries identifying where bugs should be sent.

Add new build-dependencies to bisection instructions
The current instructions, mentioning only build-essential, are long
outdated. Add all the possible build-dependencies in the current
upstream version. Also put the package installation in a separate
paragraph rather than combining it with fetching sources.

Remove documentation of genorig.py's obsolete, insecure tarball support
I removed support for tarballs and patches in genorig.py, because it
was no longer being tested and didn't include signature verification.
While it will still work in existing stable releases, it shouldn't be
recommended here.
While doing this, also mention that remote Git URLs will work in
bookworm onward.

Change custom package building examples to use the bindeb-pkg target
When these examples were written, "make deb-pkg" only created binary
packages. Since Linux 4.3 it also builds a source package that is
usually not going to be needed, and in the process it also cleans the
source, wasting a whole lot of time.

Change bisection instructions to include verifying upstream git tags
To establish a trust path, this involves downloading the linux source
package and using its trusted keys and gpgv wrapper script.
This also introduces the old-version and new-version variables and
reuses them further down the instructions.

Makefile: Generate git version in a way that works with GitLab CI variables
We currently use "git describe" to generate the version, but this
doesn't work in GitLab CI because we don't have git tags. Also, git
won't be installed by the common salsa-ci pipeline.
Switch to the <version>+git<date>.<hash> format, which we can generate
using either git commands or the variables provided by GitLab CI.
