Johannes Altmanninger 7a59540517 docs: use :doc: role when referencing entire pages
No need to define "cmd-foo" anchors; use :doc:`foo <cmds/foo>`
instead. If we want "cmd-foo" but it should be tested.

builtin - run a builtin command
===============================
Synopsis
--------
.. synopsis::
builtin [OPTIONS] BUILTINNAME
builtin --query BUILTINNAME ...
builtin --names
Description
-----------
``builtin`` forces the shell to use a builtin command named *BUILTIN*, rather than a function or external program.
The following options are available:
**-n** or **--names**
Lists the names of all defined builtins.
**-q** or **--query** *BUILTIN*
Tests if any of the specified builtins exist. If any exist, it returns 0, 1 otherwise.
**-h** or **--help**
Displays help about using this command.
Example
-------
::
builtin jobs
# executes the jobs builtin, even if a function named jobs exists
