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?
As soon as the ``++yield++`` keyword is used the enclosing method or function becomes a generator. Thus ``++yield++`` should never be used in a function or method which is not intended to be a generator.
This rule raises an issue when ``++yield++`` or ``++yield from++`` are used in a function or method which is not a generator because:
* the function/method's return type annotation is not [``++typing.Generator[...]++``|https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html#typing.Generator]
* it is a special method which can never be a generator (ex: ``++__init__++``).
=== Noncompliant code example
[source,python]
----
class A:
def __init__(self, value):
self.value = value
yield value # Noncompliant
def mylist2() -> List[str]:
yield ['string'] # Noncompliant. Return should be used instead of yield
def generator_ok() -> Generator[int, float, str]:
sent = yield 42
return '42'
----
=== Compliant solution
[source,python]
----
class A:
def __init__(self, value):
self.value = value
def mylist2() -> List[str]:
return ['string']
def generator_ok() -> Generator[int, float, str]:
sent = yield 42
return '42'

== Implementation Specification
(visible only on this page)
=== Message
* Remove this "yield" statement
* Replace this "yield" keyword with "return" or change the return type annotation.
=== Highlighting
Primary: the "yield" keyword
Secondary: function/method's return type annotation if there is one
