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?
include::../description.adoc[]
=== Noncompliant code example
[source,javascript]
----
function doSomething(a, b) { // "a" is unused
return compute(b);
}
----
=== Compliant solution
[source,javascript]
----
function doSomething(b) {
return compute(b);
}
----
or
[source,javascript]
----
function doSomething(_a, b) {
return compute(b);
}
----
=== Exceptions
When ``++arguments++`` is used in the function body, no parameter is reported as unused.
[source,javascript]
----
function doSomething(a, b, c) {
compute(arguments);
}
----
Also, the rule ignores all parameters whose name starts with an underscore (``++_++``).
This is a common practice to acknowledge the fact that some parameter is unused (e.g. in TypeScript compiler).

I removed part "for function-expression" from Exceptions block, as there is no difference between usage of function-declarations and function-expressions. In some cases (passing functions as arguments to other functions) function-expressions are more common, but function-declarations are still in use.
