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?
Oracle supports at most 1000 items in a SQL query's ``++IN++`` clause. When more items are given, the exception ``++ORA-01795 maximum number of expressions in a list is 1000++`` is raised. Thus, ``++IN++`` clauses are not as scalable as joins.
=== Noncompliant code example
[source,sql]
----
BEGIN
SELECT *
INTO result
FROM my_table
WHERE col1 IN (1, 2, 3, ..., 1001); -- Noncompliant - raises ORA-01795
END;
/
----
=== Compliant solution
[source,sql]
----
BEGIN
SELECT my_table.*
INTO result
FROM my_table
JOIN new_in_table
WHERE my_table.col1 = new_in_table.value; -- Compliant
END;
/
