docs: parse-headers.py: convert parse-headers.pl When the Kernel started to use Sphinx, we had to come up with a solution to parse media headers. On that time, we didn't have much experience with Sphinx extensions. So, we came up with our own script-based solution that were basically implementing a set of rules we used to have at the Makefile. Convert it to Python, keeping it bug-compatible with the original script. While here, try to better document it.

tools: docs: parse-headers.py: move it from sphinx dir 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.

tools: docs: parse_data_structs.py: add methods to return output When running it from command line, we want to write an output file, but when used as a class, one may just want the output content returned as a string. Split write_output() on two methods to allow both usecases. Also add an extra method to produce a TOC.

docs: parse-headers.py: convert parse-headers.pl When the Kernel started to use Sphinx, we had to come up with a solution to parse media headers. On that time, we didn't have much experience with Sphinx extensions. So, we came up with our own script-based solution that were basically implementing a set of rules we used to have at the Makefile. Convert it to Python, keeping it bug-compatible with the original script. While here, try to better document it.
