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?
A method using the ``++VarArgs++`` calling convention is not Common Language Specification (CLS) compliant and might not be accessible across programming languages, while the ``++params++`` keyword works the same way and is CLS compliant.
This rule raises an issue when a ``++public++`` or ``++protected++`` type contains a ``++public++`` or ``++protected++`` method that uses the ``++VarArgs++`` calling convention.
=== Noncompliant code example
[source,csharp]
----
using System;
namespace MyLibrary
{
public class Foo
{
public void Bar(__arglist) // Noncompliant
{
ArgIterator argumentIterator = new ArgIterator(__arglist);
for(int i = 0; i < argumentIterator.GetRemainingCount(); i++)
{
Console.WriteLine(
__refvalue(argumentIterator.GetNextArg(), string));
}
}
}
}
----
=== Compliant solution
[source,csharp]
----
using System;
[assembly: CLSCompliant(true)]
namespace MyLibrary
{
public class Foo
{
public void Bar(params string[] wordList)
{
for(int i = 0; i < wordList.Length; i++)
{
Console.WriteLine(wordList[i]);
}
}
}
}
----
=== Exceptions
Interop methods using ``++VarArgs++`` calling convention do not raise an issue.
[source,csharp]
----
[DllImport("msvcrt40.dll")]
public static extern int printf(string format, __arglist); // Compliant
