Make sure that includes are always surrounded by empty lines (#2270)
When an include is not surrounded by empty lines, its content is inlined
on the same line as the adjacent content. That can lead to broken tags
and other display issues.
This PR fixes all such includes and introduces a validation step that
forbids introducing the same problem again.

== How to fix it in Paramiko
=== Code examples
include::../../common/fix/code-rationale.adoc[]
In the following example, if the *host* request parameter contains system
shell control characters, the expected `ping` command behavior will be changed.
==== Noncompliant code example
[source,python,diff-id=1,diff-type=noncompliant]
----
client = SSHClient()
client.connect("example.org", username=USER, password=PASS)
client.exec_command(request.args.get("cmd")) # Noncompliant
----
==== Compliant solution
[source,python,diff-id=1,diff-type=compliant]
----
client = SSHClient()
client.connect("example.org", username=USER, password=PASS)
DIAG_CMD=["/bin/ping -c 1 -- %s", "/bin/host -- %s"]
cmd = DIAG_CMD[int(request.args.get('cmdId'))]
cmd = cmd % shlex.quote(request.args.get('host'))
client.exec_command(cmd)
----
=== How does this work?
include::../../common/fix/introduction.adoc[]
include::../../common/fix/pre-approved-list.adoc[]
:sanitizationLib: shlex
include::../../common/fix/sanitize-meta-characters.adoc[]
In the example compliant code, the `quote` function from the `shlex` is used to
encode the user-controlled command argument. It escapes argument delimiters
and shell control characters.
