Docs: add notes on populating bpy.app.driver_namespace

Address issues raised by #114155.

Also fix sphinx documentation generation using incorrect identifiers
when looking up references from PyStruct types
(was looking for `bpy.app.bpy.app.driver_namespace.py`).

+File Loading & Order of Initialization
+   Since drivers are evaluated immediately after loading a blend-file,
+   using ``--python`` to populate name-space often fails to achieve the desired goal because the initial evaluation
+   will lookup a function that doesn't exist yet, marking the driver as invalid - preventing further evaluation.
+
+   Populating the driver name-space before the blend-file loads also doesn't work
+   since opening a file clears the name-space.
+
+   The driver name-space should be populated for newly loaded files using text-block registration.
+
+   Text blocks may be marked to execute on startup from the text editor *Text -> Register*.
+   Scripts that are registered will execute after a blend-file loads & before driver evaluation.
+
+   It's also possible to use run a script via the ``--python`` command line argument, before the blend file.
+   This can register a load-post handler (:mod:`bpy.app.handlers.load_post`) that initialized the name-space.
+   While this works for background tasks it has the downside that opening the file from the file selector
+   won't setup the name-space.
