https://github.com/kovan created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/186291

Add YAML metadata for `spawn.h` listing all POSIX-mandated macros
(`POSIX_SPAWN_RESETIDS`, `POSIX_SPAWN_SETPGROUP`, `POSIX_SPAWN_SETSCHEDPARAM`,
`POSIX_SPAWN_SETSCHEDULER`, `POSIX_SPAWN_SETSID`, `POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGDEF`,
`POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGMASK`) and all 23 functions (`posix_spawn`, `posix_spawnp`,
`posix_spawn_file_actions_*`, `posix_spawnattr_*`).

Add `spawn` to `index.rst` and `CMakeLists.txt` `docgen_list`.

Verified with `python3 docgen.py spawn.h` — generates valid RST with correct POSIX links.

Partial fix for #122006
