Design is pretty simple: kernel-doc inserts breadcrumbs with line
numbers, and sphinx picks them up. At first I went with a sphinx
comment, but inserting those at random places seriously upsets the
parser, and must be filtered. Hence why this version now uses "#define
LINEO " since one of these ever escape into output it's pretty clear
there is a bug.
It seems to work well, and at least the 2-3 errors where sphinx
complained about something that was not correct in kernel-doc text the
line numbers matched up perfectly.
v2: Instead of noodling around in the parser state machine, create
a ViewList and parse it ourselves. This seems to be the recommended
way, per Jani's suggestion.
v3:
- Split out ViewList pach. Splitting the kernel-doc changes from the
sphinx ones isn't possible, since emitting the LINENO lines wreaks
havoc with the rst formatting. We must filter them.
- Improve the regex per Jani's suggestions, and compile it just once
for speed.
- Now that LINENO lines are eaten, also add them to function parameter
descriptions. Much less content and offset than for in-line struct
member descriptions, but still nice to know which exact continuation
line upsets sphinx.
- Simplify/clarify the line +/-1 business a bit.
v4: Split out the scripts/kernel-doc changes and make line-numbers
opt-in, as suggested by Jani.

Instead of just forcefully inserting our kernel-doc input and letting
the state machine stumble over it the recommended way is to create
ViewList, parse that and then return the list of parsed nodes.

With this error output becomes almost readable. The line numbers are
still totally bonghits, but that's a lot harder to pull out of
kerneldoc. We'd essentially have to insert some special markers in the
kernel-doc output, split the output along these markers and then
insert each block separately using
state_machine.insert_input(block, source, first_line)

Reconcile differences between python2 and python3 on dealing with
stdout, stderr from Popen. This fixes "name 'unicode' is not defined"
errors on python3. We'll need to try to keep the extension working on
both python-sphinx and python3-sphinx so we don't need two copies.

Add an extension to handle kernel-doc directives, to call kernel-doc
according to the arguments and parameters given to the reStructuredText
directive.
The syntax for the kernel-doc directive is:
.. kernel-doc:: FILENAME
:export:
:internal:
:functions: FUNCTION [FUNCTION ...]
:doc: SECTION TITLE
Of the directive options export, internal, functions, and doc, currently
only one option may be given at a time.
The FILENAME is relative from the kernel source tree root.
The extension notifies Sphinx about the document dependency on FILENAME,
causing the document to be rebuilt when the file has been changed.
