docs: kdoc: Centralize handling of the item section list

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.
