Convert struct serial_rs485 comments to kernel doc format and include
it into documentation.

v2:
- Include serial_rs485 into documentation
- Add * to multi-line flag descriptions
For reasons unknown to me, the formatting in the flags doesn't produce the
effect promised by kerneldoc's documentation:
