Inline adoc when include has no additional value (#1940)
Inline adoc files when they are included exactly once.

Also fix language tags because this inlining gives us better information
on what language the code is written in.

== Why is this an issue?
The rule S1279 ("DISPLAY" should not be used) is fully preventing the usage of the ``++DISPLAY++`` statement whereas in same cases it may be useful to output some data to SYSOUT. However, the output of a call to ``++DISPLAY UPON CONSOLE++`` is unlikely to be viewed by someone because the output is displayed on the console and nowadays no one is in front of the console to see if something is happening.
=== Noncompliant code example

RSPEC-1279 has a parameter named "checkOnlyDisplayUponConsole".

This is a duplicate of RSPEC-1279. By default RSPEC-1279 is containing a parameter ``++checkOnlyDisplayUponConsole++`` that is ON and prevent the use of "DISPLAY UPON CONSOLE".
