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?
Testing ``++%PARMS++`` before the use of one or more parameters is a clear indication in the code that at least some parameters are treated as optional. However, failure to actually mark those parameters as such with ``++options( *nopass )++`` denies callers the ability to treat them as optional. Since all parameters after the first one explicitly declared ``++options( *nopass )++`` are also implicitly optional, this marking is only required once. However, for clarity you should consider explicitly marking all optional parameters.
=== Noncompliant code example

DCL-PR VIOLATION1 EXTPGM; // Noncompliant
LASTNAME Char(10);
FIRSTNAME Char(10);
END-PR;
DCL-PI VIOLATION1;
LASTNAME Char(10);
FIRSTNAME Char(10);
END-PI;
dsply FIRSTNAME;
IF %PARMS > 1;
dsply LASTNAME;
EndIf;
*inlr = *on;
