Randy Dunlap 18182f9758 docs: kdoc_parser: use '@' for Excess enum value
kdoc is looking for "@value" here, so use that kind of string in the
warning message. The "%value" can be confusing.

This changes:
Warning: drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/testmode.h:92 Excess enum value '%MT76_TM_ATTR_TX_PENDING' description in 'mt76_testmode_attr'

to this:
Warning: drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/testmode.h:92 Excess enum value '@MT76_TM_ATTR_TX_PENDING' description in 'mt76_testmode_attr'

Randy Dunlap 2006f468bb docs: kdoc_parser: add data/function attributes to ignore
Recognize and ignore __rcu (in struct members), __private (in struct
members), and __always_unused (in function parameters) to prevent
kernel-doc warnings:

  Warning: include/linux/rethook.h:38 struct member 'void (__rcu *handler' not described in 'rethook'
  Warning: include/linux/hrtimer_types.h:47 Invalid param: enum hrtimer_restart (*__private function)(struct hrtimer *)
  Warning: security/ipe/hooks.c:81 function parameter '__always_unused' not described in 'ipe_mmap_file'
  Warning: security/ipe/hooks.c:109 function parameter '__always_unused' not described in 'ipe_file_mprotect'

There are more of these (in compiler_types.h, compiler_attributes.h)
that can be added as needed.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab caa642bf3b tools/docs/get_feat.py: convert get_feat.pl to Python
As we want to call Python code directly at the Sphinx extension,
convert get_feat.pl to Python.

The code was made to be (almost) bug-compatible with the Perl
version, with two exceptions:

1. Currently, Perl script outputs a wrong table if arch is set
   to a non-existing value;

2. the ReST table output when --feat is used without --arch
   has an invalid format, as the number of characters for the
   table delimiters are wrong.

Those two bugs were fixed while testing the conversion.

Additionally, another caveat was solved:
the output when --feat is used without arch and the feature
doesn't exist doesn't contain an empty table anymore.

Jonathan Corbet 992a9df41a docs: bring some order to our Python module hierarchy
Now that we have tools/lib/python for our Python modules, turn them into
proper packages with a single namespace so that everything can just use
tools/lib/python in sys.path.  No functional change.

Jonathan Corbet 778b8ebe51 docs: Move the python libraries to tools/lib/python
"scripts/lib" was always a bit of an awkward place for Python modules.  We
already have tools/lib; create a tools/lib/python, move the libraries
there, and update the users accordingly.

While at it, move the contents of tools/docs/lib.  Rather than make another
directory, just put these documentation-oriented modules under "kdoc".
