[TYPO3-core] Migrating system extension manuals to ReStructured Text

Hi all,

Time for an update :-)

Over the course of the last two weeks, I made several tries with what 
the manual of rtehtmlarea, which is one of the largest manual among the 
system extensions. I had several exchanges with Martin (Bless) to refine 
the migration script, to try to have as little manual processing to do 
as possible. This has been very successful :-)

As a test bed, I have created a fork of the TYPO3.CMS repo on Github [1] 
and will start pushing converted manuals to it. I imagine doing the 
cleanup there too and submit a patch to the official repo after that. I 
hope to be able to achieve this within 2 weeks, so that we have time to 
get the converted manuals into the Core before T3DD13 without rushing it.

I'm not sure if forking on Github was the right way to do it, but it 
seems like the current trend for experimental "branches".

Cheers
