Merge branch 'kdoc-item2' into docs-mw
The kerneldoc parsing phase gathers all of the information about the declarations of interest, then passes it through to the output phase as a dict that is an unstructured blob of information; this organization has its origins in the Perl version of the program. It results in an interface that is difficult to reason about, dozen-parameter function calls, and other ills. Introduce a new class (KdocItem) to carry this information between the parser and the output modules, and, step by step, modify the system to use this class in a more structured way. This could be taken further by creating a subclass of KdocItem for each declaration type (function, struct, ...), but that is probably more structure than we need. The result is (I hope) clearer code, the removal of a bunch of boilerplate, and no changes to the generated output.
