While cross-references are complex, as related ones can be on
different files, we can at least correlate the ones that belong
to the same file, adding a SEE ALSO section for them.
The result is not bad. See for instance:

They are part of the interface, so use them directly. This allows the
removal of the transitional __dict__ hack in KdocItem.

Each declaration type passes through the name in a unique field of the
"args" blob - even though we have always just passed the name separately.
Get rid of all the weird names and just use the common version.

Callers to output_declaration() always pass the parameter information from
self.entry; remove all of the boilerplate arguments and just get at that
information directly. Formalize its placement in the KdocItem class.
It would be nice to get rid of parameterlist as well, but that has the
effect of reordering the output of function parameters and struct fields to
match the order in the kerneldoc comment rather than in the declaration.
One could argue about which is more correct, but the ordering has been left
unchanged for now.

The section list always comes directly from the under-construction entry
and is used uniformly. Formalize section handling in the KdocItem class,
and have output_declaration() load the sections directly from the entry,
eliminating a lot of duplicated, verbose parameters.

Python dicts (as of 3.7) are guaranteed to remember the insertion order of
items, so we do not need a separate list for that purpose. Drop the
per-entry sectionlist variable and just rely on native dict ordering.

Change the logic which detects internal/external symbols in a way
that we can re-use it when calling via Sphinx extension.
While here, remove an unused self.config var and let it clearer
that self.config variables are read-only. This helps to allow
handling multiple times in parallel if ever needed.

The filtering logic was seeking for the DOC name to check for
symbols, but such data is stored only inside a section. Add it
to the output_declaration, as it is quicker/easier to check
the declaration name than to check inside each section.
While here, make sure that the output for both ReST and man
after filtering will be similar to what kernel-doc Perl
version does.

With the Pyhton version, the actual output happens after parsing,
from records stored at self.entries.
Ensure that line numbers will be properly stored there and
that they'll produce the desired results at the ReST output.
