[RFC/PoC 0/5] Provide example docbundles

The man pages provide user facing examples which explain important concepts, such as history-simplification. However users can have difficulty in reproducing these examples to allow the exploration of thr concepts. Let's provide these simple example, pre-packaged as part of the documentation.

This Request for Comment (RFC) / Proof of Concept (PoC) attempts to set out some design aims, and an outline implementation based on using bundles for each example, and the test system for their preparation.

Are there any obvious show-stoppers? Where best to hold the docbundle dir on various platforms? How many examples to provide, and how to decide? Usage of existing test repo examples? etc. -- Philip
