[PATCH v2 2/5] docs: automarkup.py: Fix regexes to solve sphinx 3 warnings

From: Nícolas F. R. A. Prado
Date: Tue Oct 13 2020 - 19:13:25 EST


With the transition to Sphinx 3, new warnings were generated by
automarkup, exposing bugs in the regexes.

The warnings were caused by the expressions matching words in the
translated versions of the documentation, since any unicode character
was matched.

Fix the regular expression by making the C regexes use ASCII and
ensuring the expressions only match the beginning of words.
