Addresses 4 documentation issues identified as low-hanging fruit from the backlog.

Changes

Extensions & plugins (#250, #375)

  • Added "doit extensions & plugins" section to related.rst
  • Listed doit-redis (backend), doit-report (reporters), doit-api, and letsdoit (task creation)
  • Cross-referenced doit-api in task-creation.rst

Calculated dependencies (#399)

  • Added warning about JSON-encodable requirement in dependencies.rst
  • Common failure: returning pathlib.Path objects in file_dep

Searchability (#205)

  • Added Sphinx .. option:: directives for -f and --seek-file in cmd-run.rst
  • Added :envvar: role for DOIT_SEEK_FILE
  • Added :file: role and label for doit.cfg in configuration.rst

Not addressed

Issues #215 (Zeal/Dash support) and #214 (PDF/downloadable versions) require build infrastructure changes beyond documentation updates.
