scripts/kernel-doc: tweak for QEMU coding standards

This commit makes the equivalent changes to the Python script that we
had for the old Perl script in commit 4cf41794411f ("docs: tweak
kernel-doc for QEMU coding standards"). To repeat the rationale from
that commit:

Surprisingly, QEMU does have a pretty consistent doc comment style and
it is not very different from the Linux kernel's. Of the documentation
"sigils", only "#" separates the QEMU doc comment style from Linux's,
and it has 200+ instances vs. 6 for the kernel's '&struct foo' (all in
accel/tcg/translate-all.c), so it's clear that the two standards are
different in this respect. In addition, our structs are typedefed and
recognized by CamelCase names.

Note that in 4cf41794411f we used '(?!)' as our type_fallback regex;
this is strictly not quite a replacement for the upstream
'\&([_\w]+)', because the latter includes a group that can later be
matched with \1, and the former does not. The old perl script did
not care about this, but the python version does, so we must include
the extra set of brackets to ensure we have a group.

This commit does not include all the same changes that 4cf41794411f
did. Of the missing pieces, some had already gone in an earlier
kernel-doc update; the parts we still had but do not include here are:

$descr =~ s/^\s*//;

The second of these is already in the upstream version: the line r =
KernRe("[-:](.*)") in process_name() matches the regex we have. The
first change has been refactored into the doc_begin_data and
doc_begin_func changes. Since the output HTML for QEMU's
documentation has no relevant changes with the new kerneldoc, we
assume that this too has been handled upstream.

This commit is the Python version of our older commit
b30df2751e5 ("scripts/kernel-doc: strip QEMU_ from function definitions").

Some versions of Sphinx get confused if function attributes are
left on the C code from kernel-doc; strip out any QEMU_* prefixes
from function prototypes.

scripts: Import Python kerneldoc from Linux kernel

We last synced our copy of kerneldoc with Linux back in 2020. In the
interim, upstream has entirely rewritten the script in Python, and
the new Python version is split into a main script plus some
libraries in the kernel's scripts/lib/kdoc.

Import all these files. These are the versions as of kernel commit
0cc53520e68be, with no local changes.

We use the same lib/kdoc/ directory as the kernel does here, so we
can avoid having to edit the top-level script just to adjust a
pathname, even though it is probably not the naming we would have
picked if this was a purely QEMU script.

The Sphinx conf.py still points at the Perl version of the script,
so this Python code will not be invoked to build the docs yet.

NB: checkpatch complains about many things in this commit,
including the use of "GPL-2.0" rather than "GPL-2.0-only" in
the SPDX tags, but since this is a third party import we can
ignore this.
