[PATCH 0/6] additional fixes to kernel-doc.py

[Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>]

Hi Jon,

This series comes after:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-doc/cover.1739952783.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org/T/#t

it basically contains:

- a regression fix when -none/--none parameter is used;
- some backward-compatibility fixes;
- a fix to KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP, which also drops
  importing dateutil (*);
- a cleanup related to man modulename.

(*) despite almost everybody has it installed, dateutil is actually not
    part of the official Python libraries, so using it would require an
    extra dependency check.

While our minimal Python version is 3.9, I opted to make it compatible with
Python 3.6, as the only issue preventing 3.6 was a single string function
(removesuffix) that can be also served by rstrip().

After those changes, support for 3.6 on kernel-doc.py comes almost for 
free: both man and ReST output works with just Python 3.6 installed without
any additional modules.

So, no need to change any dependencies at scripts/sphinx-pre-install.
