The only content not already covered by basic/layout.rst was the layout
tag attribute reference. Move it there and point the two General Options
pages at the new location.
basic/display.rst already covered the graphics drivers, GUI matrix and
the internal and gtk GUI options. The only content not carried over was
the pointer to the OSD page, which is now added.
The icon sources live in navit/icons/ and are installed to
share/navit/icons, not the historic navit/xpm/ paths.
position_height, position_sats_used and position_hdop are only written
when the GPS device reports them, just like the other marked types, so
the ambiguous '?' marker was replaced with the '*' used for all of them.
The wiki-style [[...]] and <Page>__ links are not resolved by Sphinx and
render as literal text. Replace them with :doc: references where the
target page exists and with plain text where it does not.
Point the general link at basic/vehicle and fix the five profile
references, which used wiki paths that no longer exist (and contained a
typo in the car link). The longer :doc: headings also required extending
the section underlines.
The previous text claimed a duplicate layout overrides the earlier
definition, but navit discards later duplicates (layout.c), so the first
definition wins. Overriding is achieved by file include order: user
navit_layout_*.xml files are loaded before the shipped ones.
