Thank you, Andrew, for this patch. Unfortunately, I can't review the actual
patch because I'm a user with the desire to read more about modules. But
definitively, I've learned something in reading your patch. I find it useful.

Currently the GRUB Manual is missing documentation on most of the modules
available in GRUB. This makes it difficult for users to understand what
features / capabilities exist and to fine-tune which modules their system
includes.

Based on positive feedback received from 2024-06 / 2024-07 mail thread
"Idea / Feedback Request: GRUB Manual - Modules Documentation Improve"
(https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2024-07/msg00023.html)
I have proceeded with adding documentation of the GRUB modules. I have
attempted to capture some documentation for all GRUB modules I was able
to see in the current source tree. Whenever possible - I pointed to
detailed documentation on commands (cross reference from the module to
the command documentation) when such documentation was available. I did
my best to interpret the source code to provide a basic high level summary
of the module's purpose.

From user perspective, this patch will greatly expand (I counted a bit
more than 300 modules today) section 16 (Modules) of the GRUB Manual, and
I also added some detail on the "file" command (moved it from
undocumented).
