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?

If a SQL ``++TABLE++`` is declared but not used in the program, it can be considered dead code and should therefore be removed. This will improve maintainability because developers will not wonder what the variable is used for.

We should not raise an issue when a ``++DECLARE...TABLE++`` is inside a copybook: a COBOL program, which could be in another project, could use this copybook and this ``++DECLARE...TABLE++`` declaration.
