Recognize and ignore __rcu (in struct members), __private (in struct

kernel-doc warnings:

There are more of these (in compiler_types.h, compiler_attributes.h)
that can be added as needed.

Now that we have tools/lib/python for our Python modules, turn them into
proper packages with a single namespace so that everything can just use
tools/lib/python in sys.path. No functional change.

docs: Move the python libraries to tools/lib/python

"scripts/lib" was always a bit of an awkward place for Python modules. We
already have tools/lib; create a tools/lib/python, move the libraries
there, and update the users accordingly.

While at it, move the contents of tools/docs/lib. Rather than make another
directory, just put these documentation-oriented modules under "kdoc".
