docs: kdoc; Add a rudimentary class to represent output items This class is intended to replace the unstructured dict used to accumulate an entry to pass to an output module. For now, it remains unstructured, but it works well enough that the output classes don't notice the difference.

docs: kdoc: better handle source when producing YAML output The current logic was storing symbols source code on a list, not linked to the actual KdocItem. While this works fine when kernel-doc markups are OK, on places where there is a "/**" without a valid kernel-doc markup, it ends that the 1:1 match between source code and KdocItem doesn't happen, causing problems to generate the YAML output. Fix it by storing the source code directly into the KdocItem structure. This shouldn't affect performance or memory footprint, except when --yaml option is used. While here, add a __repr__() function for KdocItem, as it helps debugging it.

docs: kdoc: Coalesce parameter-list handling 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.

Add a method to create a new KdocItem from a dict to allow converting such input into a real KdocItem.

docs: kdoc_item: fix a typo on sections_start_lines Currently, there are 15 occurrences of section?_start_lines, with 10 using the plural way. This is an issue, as, while kdoc_output works with KdocItem, the term doesn't match its init value. The variable sections_start_lines stores multiple sections, so placing it in plural is its correct way. So, ensure that, on all parts of kdoc, this will be referred as sections_start_lines.
