"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".

As suggested by Jon, we should start having a tools/docs
directory, instead of placing everything under scripts.
In the specific case of parse-headers.py, the previous
location is where we're placing Sphinx extensions, which is
not the right place for execs.
Move it to tools/docs/parse-headers.py.

The docs scripts that are used by Documentation/sphinx are
using scripts/lib/* directories to place classes that will
be used by both extensions and scripts.
When pylint is used, it needs to identify the path where
such scripts are, otherwise it will bail out. Add a simple
RC file placing the location of such files.
