doc/sphinx: Track line-number of starting blocks
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.
