From: Patrick Miller <paddymills@proton.me>

Add a check for documentation in rust files. Warn if certain known
documentation headers are not plural.

The rust maintainers prefer document headers to be plural. This is to
enforce consistency as well as to protect against errors when additions
are made. For instance, if a header says "Example" for a single example,
adding a second example may cause confusion. The maintainers wish to
avoid reminding users to update their documentation for such cases.

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/92be0b48-cde9-4241-8ef9-7fe4d7c42466@proton.me/T/#t
  - fixed whitespace that was formatted due to editor settings 
v3: https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/da34f89c-f94c-43aa-946c-57fec3597974@proton.me/T/#t
  - move && to previous line and remove whitespace in WARN per Joe Perches
  - reformat following C coding style
v4: https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/20240914181618.837227-2-paddymills@proton.me/
  - add @fix option (credit: Joe Perches)
  - add Error to list of checked section headers
  - make check for rust file its own if statement because more rust
      checks are planned
v5: https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/20241002022749.390836-2-paddymills@proton.me/
  - merged Hridesh MG's patch[1] to check against consecutive empty rustdoc comments
  - revised Hridesh MG's patch to match against $prevrawline being new
      or existing
  - added fix to Hridesh MG's patch
v6:
  - undid the merging of Hridesh MG's patch
  - revised opening comment to be more explicit per Miguel Ojeda
  - The --fix option was throwing an uninitialized variable error, fixed
    it and made it automatically convert the headers to plural.
