For the parameter documentation to be really taken as such, in its entirety,
by Sphinx, it must be indented relative to the :param: tag. Do this by
appending an extra indent after every line of the output and work around the
unnecessary indent of the last line by removing the trailing whitespace.
This required updating the existing tests and removing the expected but not
present any more whitespace from them, but as trailing whitespace in the
documentation is at best insignificant (and at worst harmful) anyhow, this is
not a big price to pay for simpler translator code.
reST is standard Python markup, so use *...*, ``...`` and so on instead of
_..._, '...' etc.
No other changes even though the mapping of some Doxygen tags to markup used
for them seems suspicions (e.g. \var almost certainly should be the same as
\em).
Use the more or less standard :param:, :type:, :return: and :raises: in the
function/methods descriptions.
Update the output expected from the Python tests accordingly.
Update Doxygen-specific Python unit tests to work with the new indentation.
Update one of Doxygen-specific Java tests to still build with the new handling
of srcdir.
