Jonathan Corbet 24f984aa11 docs: kdoc: remove support for an external kernel-doc from sphinx
The ability to build the docs with an external kernel-doc program involves
some truly confusing logic and complicates the task of moving kernel-doc
out of scripts/.  But this feature is not useful for normal documentation
builds, and the external kernel-doc can always be run by hand when it needs
debugging.  So just remove that feature and make life easier.

There is still a bunch of logic to build a command line that we never use;
the idea is to be able to output it, but I'm not sure if that is worth
keeping.
