docs: kdoc: better handle source when producing YAML output
The current logic was storing symbols source code on a list, not linked to the actual KdocItem. While this works fine when kernel-doc markups are OK, on places where there is a "/**" without a valid kernel-doc markup, it ends that the 1:1 match between source code and KdocItem doesn't happen, causing problems to generate the YAML output.
Fix it by storing the source code directly into the KdocItem structure.
This shouldn't affect performance or memory footprint, except when --yaml option is used.
While here, add a __repr__() function for KdocItem, as it helps debugging it.

unittests: test_kdoc_parser: add command line arg to read a YAML file
The test_kdoc_parser.py already supports loading dynamic tests when running unit tests.
Add support to read from a different file. This is useful for: - regression tests before/afer some changes; - preparing new unit tests; - test a different yaml before adding its contents at tools/unittests/kdoc-test.yaml.
It should be noticed that passing an argument to a unit test is not too trivial, as unittest core will load itself the runner with a separate environment. The best (only?) way to do it is by setting the system environment. This way, when the class is called by the unit test loader, it can pick the var from the environment without relying on a global variable.
The unittest_helper has already provision for it, so let's use its support.

docs: test_kdoc_parser: add support for dynamic test creation
Use the content of kdoc-test.yaml to generate unittests to verify that kernel-doc internal methods are parsing C code and generating output the expected way.
Depending on what is written at the parser file at kdoc-test.yaml, up to 5 tests can be generated from a single test entry inside the YAML file:
1. from source to kdoc_item: test KernelDoc class; 2. from kdoc_item to man: test ManOutput class; 3. from kdoc_item to rst: test RestOutput class; 4. from source to man without checking expected KdocItem; 5. from source to rst without checking expected KdocItem.

docs: add a simple kdoc-test.yaml together with a validation tool
Create a simple kdoc-test.yaml to be used to create unit tests for kernel-doc parser and output classes.
For now, all we want is a simple function mapped on a yaml test using the defined schema.
To be sure that the schema is followed, add an unittest for the file, which will also validate that the schema is properly parsed.
It should be noticed that the .TH definition for the man format contains a timestamp. We'll need to handle that when dealing with the actual implementation for the ManOutput class unit tests.

docs: unittests: add a parser to test kernel-doc parser logic
Validating that kernel-doc is parsing data properly is tricky.
Add an unittest skeleton that alllows passing a source code and check if the corresponding values of export_table and entries returned by the parser are properly filled.
It works by mocking a file input with the contents of a source string, an comparing if:
- exports set matches; - expected KernelItem entries match.
Create a new TestSelfValidate meant to check if the logic inside KdocParser.run_test() does its job of checking for differences inside KdocItem.

tools: unittests: add tests for CMatch
The CMatch logic is complex enough to justify tests to ensure that it is doing its job.
Add unittests to check the functionality provided by CMatch by replicating expected patterns.
The CMatch class handles with complex macros. Add an unittest to check if its doing the right thing and detect eventual regressions as we improve its code.
The initial version was generated using gpt-oss:latest LLM on my local GPU, as LLMs aren't bad transforming patterns into unittests.
Yet, the curent version contains only the skeleton of what LLM produced, as I ended higly changing its content to be more representative and to have real case scenarios.
The kdoc_xforms test suite contains 3 test groups. Two of them tests the basic functionality of CMatch to replace patterns.
The last one (TestRealUsecases) contains real code snippets from the Kernel with some cleanups to better fit in 80 columns and uses the same transforms as kernel-doc, thus allowing to test the logic used inside kdoc_parser to transform functions, structs and variable patterns.
Its output is like this:
$ tools/unittests/kdoc_xforms.py Ran 25 tests in 0.003s
OK test_cmatch: TestSearch: test_search_acquires_multiple: OK test_search_acquires_nested_paren: OK test_search_acquires_simple: OK test_search_must_hold: OK test_search_must_hold_shared: OK test_search_no_false_positive: OK test_search_no_function: OK test_search_no_macro_remains: OK
