[PATCH v3 1/8] docs: cdomain.py: add support for a new Sphinx 3.1+ tag

[Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>]

Since Sphinx 3.0, the C domain code was rewritten, but only
after version 3.1 it got support for setting namespaces on
C domains, with is something that it is required, in order to
document system calls, like ioctl() and others.

As part of changing the documentation subsystem to properly
build with Sphinx 3.1+, add support for such new tag:

	.. c:namespace::"

Such tag optionally replaces the optional "name" tag for functions,
setting a single namespace domain for all C references found
at the file.

With that, it should be possible to convert existing
documentation to be compatible with both Sphinx 1.x/2.x and
3.1+.
