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?
Implementing the special method ``++__ne__++`` is not equivalent to implementing the special method ``++__eq__++``. By default ``++__ne__++`` will call ``++__eq__++``, but the default implementation of ``++__eq__++`` does not call ``++__ne__++``.
This rule raises an issue when the special method ``++__ne__++`` is implemented but not the ``++__eq__++`` method.
=== Noncompliant code example
[source,python]
----
class Ne:
def __ne__(self, other): # Noncompliant.
return False
myvar = Ne() == 1 # False. __ne__ is not called
myvar = 1 == Ne() # False. __ne__ is not called
myvar = Ne() != 1 # False
myvar = 1 != Ne() # False
----
=== Compliant solution
[source,python]
----
# Recommended, as __ne__ delegates to __eq__ by default
class Eq:
def __eq__(self, other):
return True
myvar = Eq() == 1 # True
myvar = 1 == Eq() # True
myvar = Eq() != 1 # False. __eq__ is called
myvar = 1 != Eq() # False. __eq__ is called
# OR if __ne__ needs a special implementation
class Eq:
def __eq__(self, other):
return True
def __ne__(self, other):
return False
