Re: [PATCH] docs: pdfdocs: Prevent column squeezing by tabulary

Akira Yokosawa [off-list ref] writes:

Setting a reasonable width to \tymin prevents column squeezing
by tabulary.
Width of 20em works well in almost all the tables still in the
ascii-art format.

Excerpt from tabulary package documentation at [1]:

    To stop very narrow columns being too 'squeezed' by this process
    any columns that are narrower than \tymin are set to their natural
    width.

[1]: https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/tabulary/tabulary.pdf

Note: Sphinx has its own default value of \tymin set in
sphinxlatextables.sty (Sphinx 4.0.2) and sphinxmulticell.sty
(Sphinx 2.4.4) as follows:

    \setlength{\tymin}{3\fontcharwd\font`0 }

, which is not sufficient for kernel-doc.

Tested against Sphinx versions 2.4.4 and 4.0.2.

Hi all,

This is another attempt to improve pdfdocs output.
As far as I see, I don't see any obvious regression by
this change.

The effect of this change can be seen in (not limited to)
the MODULE_LICENSE section in process.pdf (pages 10 and 11).

I'd like to know this change looks reasonable to you.

Any feedback is welcome!

        Thanks, Akira
