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.

== Why is this an issue?
A loop with at most one iteration is equivalent to the use of an ``++if++`` statement to conditionally execute one piece of code. No developer expects to find such a use of a loop statement. If the initial intention of the author was really to conditionally execute one piece of code, an ``++if++`` statement should be used instead.
At worst that was not the initial intention of the author and so the body of the loop should be fixed to use the nested ``++return++``, ``++break++`` or ``++raise++`` statements in a more appropriate way.
