Subject: [PATCH 9/9] docs: kdoc: finish disentangling the BODY and SPECIAL_SECTION states

Move the last SPECIAL_SECTION special case into the proper handler
function, getting rid of more if/then/else logic.  The leading-space
tracking was tightened up a bit in the move.  Add some comments describing
what is going on.

No changes to the generated output.
