[PATCH] scripts/kernel-doc: Use asciidoc instead of markdown

By popular demand.

This needs some adjustment/fixups after feeding snippets to asciidoc
since compared to markdown asciidown escapes xml markup and doesn't
just let it through.

The other noticeable change is that build times increase a lot - we
need to launch the markup process per-snippet, there's a few thousand
of them and asciidoc (python) has a substantial higher overhead per
invocation than pandoc (haskell).

v2: More fine-tuning:

- Use unixe newlines, not the default dos ones. Only results in
  ugliness in the intermediate gpu.xml, but still.

- Resurrect the hack to remove paragraphs for the one-line references.
  Like markdown asciidoc insists to wrap everything.
