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?
There should not be any statements after ``++EXIT PROGRAM++``. Such statements cannot be reached, and are therefore dead code. Dead code makes a program more complex and therefore more difficult to maintain.
=== Noncompliant code example
[source,cobol]
----
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
PARAGRAPH1.
MOVE A TO B.
EXIT PROGRAM. >NOK as the following "MOVE B TO C" statement will never be called
MOVE B TO C.

=== Compliant solution
