Right now, it is not possible to document nested struct and nested unions.
kernel-doc simply ignore them.

Add support to document them.

This series starts with a patch getting rid of the now unused output formats
for kernel-doc: since we got rid of all DocBook stuff, we should not need
them anymore. The reason for dropping it (despite cleaning up), is that
it doesn't make sense to invest time on adding new features for formats
that aren't used anymore.

The next 8 patches on this series improve kernel-doc documentation and
finally get rid of its old documentation (kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt).

Patch 9/10 is the most interesting one in this series: it adds support for
nested structures and unions.

Patch 10/10 is just an example from a random header with kernel-doc
markups. There's no special reason for selecting this file, and the
comments there are likely wrong. So, please use it only as a way to test
the new parser logic from patch 9/10.

Before this series, I send a few PoC patches. They were all
replaced by patch 9/10.
