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?
For readability, SAP recommends that asterisks (``++*++``) only be used to comment out header lines and code. Commentary should be commented using a double quote (``++"++``)
=== Noncompliant code example
[source,abap]
----
* GAC - 13 June 13 - output user data
* WRITE: / 'Firstname'.
----
=== Compliant solution
[source,abap]
----
" GAC - 13 June 13 - output user data
* WRITE: / 'Firstname'.
----
=== Exceptions
This rule ignores code that is included in a commentary block and commented as commentary.
[source,abap]
----
" This is a commentary block. It could go on for a number of lines.
" As we see in the code sample below...
" WRITE: / 'Firstname'.
" It would have been better to comment the line above as code (i.e. with an asterisk)
" but not doing so is accepted.
