Subject: [PATCH 05/24] docs: parse-headers.py: simplify the rules for hashes

Normal :ref domain accept either hashes or underscores, but
c-domain ones don't. Fix it and remove unneeded places where
we opt to disable underscore transformation.

Ideally, we should have a rule about the default, or change
the way media docs have their references.
