[TYPO3-doc] Linking ReST manuals from Extensions into the TYPO3 Core

I can only support all that Philipp said :-)

It's indeed still an open question about what to do from the TER and the 
EM. Linking to the new docs site is quite obvious. The idea about 
linking to the raw reST file is a new one, but is a good one to provide 
a fallback. Another possibility could be to have a function in the EM to 
download the PDFs of all installed extensions for example.

We would be able to migrate all system extension manuals to reST already 
now, but we haven't really talked about it yet, in particular what 
changes to propose for the EM.

Cheers
