As promised, drop support for some ancient sphinx releases, along with a
lot of the cruft that was required to make that support work.

While most of the C domain parsing is done via kernel-doc,
some RST files use C domain tags directly.
While several of them can be removed for Sphinx < 3.0, due
to automarkup.py, and several others that could be
converted into kernel-doc markups, changes like that are
time-consuming, and may not fit all cases.
As we already have the cdomain.py for handing backward
compatibility with Sphinx versions below 3.0, let's
make it more complete, in order to cover any usage of the
newer tags outside kernel-doc.
This way, it should be feasible to use the new tags inside
the Kernel tree, without losing backward compatibility.
This should allow fixing the remaining warnings with
the Kernel tags.

Since Sphinx 3.0, the C domain code was rewritten, but only
after version 3.1 it got support for setting namespaces on
C domains, with is something that it is required, in order to
document system calls, like ioctl() and others.
As part of changing the documentation subsystem to properly
build with Sphinx 3.1+, add support for such new tag:
.. c:namespace::"
Such tag optionally replaces the optional "name" tag for functions,
setting a single namespace domain for all C references found
at the file.
With that, it should be possible to convert existing
documentation to be compatible with both Sphinx 1.x/2.x and
3.1+.

There's a new warning about a deprecation function. Add a
logic at cdomain.py to avoid that.

The self.indexnode's tuple has changed in sphinx version 1.4, from a
former 4 element tuple to a 5 element tuple.

Moved the *duplicate C object description* warnings for function
declarations in the nitpicky mode. In nitpick mode, you can suppress
those warnings (e.g. ioctl) with::
nitpicky = True
nitpick_ignore = [
("c:func", "ioctl"),
]
See Sphinx documentation for the config values for ``nitpick`` and
``nitpick_ignore`` [1].
With this change all the ".. cpp:function:: int ioctl(..)" descriptions
(found in the media book) can be migrated to ".. c:function:: int
ioctl(..)", without getting any warnings. E.g.::
.. cpp:function:: int ioctl( int fd, int request, struct cec_event *argp )
.. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, int request, struct cec_event *argp )
The main effect, is that we get those *CPP-types* back into Sphinx's C-
namespace and we need no longer to distinguish between c/cpp references,
when we refer a function like the ioctl.

Add option 'name' to the "c:function:" directive. With option 'name'
the ref-name of a function can be modified. E.g.::
.. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, int request )
:name: VIDIOC_LOG_STATUS
The func-name (e.g. ioctl) remains in the output but the ref-name
changed from ``ioctl`` to ``VIDIOC_LOG_STATUS``. The index entry for
this function is also changed to ``VIDIOC_LOG_STATUS`` and the function
can now referenced by::
:c:func:`VIDIOC_LOG_STATUS`
