[PATCH v2 1/5] docs: cdomain.py: add support for two new Sphinx 3.1+ tags

[Mauro Carvalho Chehab]

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 two tags:

	- :c:expr:`foo`
	- .. c:namespace::"

The first one just replaces the expresion by ``foo``, with
produces a monotext expression.

The second one replaces the optional "name" tag for functions,
setting a domain for all C references found after its usage.

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

Unfortunately, building the documentation with Sphinx 3.0
will produce lots of warnings, because the namespace tag
doesn't exist there, with will cause both warnings for the
usage of a non-existing tag and warnings about multiple
definitions for system calls. There's not much we can
do to solve such issues.
