The Makefiles across the documentation manuals had drifted apart: the
strict rendering target was named docs-test in one manual and test-docs in
the others, some ran --fail-on-log while their own CI ran --minimal-test,
two had lost make help to space indentation, and several help
descriptions were copy-paste leftovers from unrelated targets. They are
being unified on one shared block, so the same command means the same
thing in every manual.

The help recipe was indented with spaces instead of a tab, so make never
treated it as a recipe: make help printed nothing and exited claiming
there was nothing to do. The rest of the file is the shared block's
wording and spacing.

Also correct AGENTS.md, which described make test-docs as rendering in
fail-on-log mode while the Makefile used --minimal-test.
