"edit on github" link for canio docs is a broken link

[siddacious]

on the page:
https://circuitpython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/shared-bindings/canio/index.html#canio.Message
this link:

points here, which doesn't exist:
https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/blob/main/shared-bindings/canio/index.rst

I'm not sure this is doable because we generate index.rst based on the .c files in shared-bindings.

I don't mind if there is a link to actually edit the docs or not, I'd just don't like broken links.

Can you link to the processes and/or scripts that are responsible for generating the .rst files? I assume it's run by Actions?

I think we should close this in favor of #3400

make stubs strips the //| lines out of the .c files in shared-bindings to create .pyi files. sphinx-build then uses the autoapi plugin to convert .pyi to .rst which is then rendered to the docs.
