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?
Dereferencing a null pointer has undefined behavior, and it is particularly harmful if a reference is then bound to the result, because a reference is assumed to refer to a valid object.
=== Noncompliant code example
[source,cpp]
----
void doSomething(A& a);
void f() {
A* a = nullptr;
// ...
doSomething(*a); // Noncompliant
}
