A couple of minor doc improvements.  Hopefully the flow graph
will make things easier-to-understand for new users.

And the txt2pre changes are a precursor to configurable
linkification in the WWW interface for email.

Eric Wong (4):
  doc: add data flow diagram using Graph::Easy
  doc: remove .x/ subdirectory for Xapian manpages
  doc: txt2pre: auto-linkify manpage references
  doc: v1: add a reference to git-filter-repo(1), too
