Subject: [PATCH v8 13/13] docs: parser_yaml.py: fix backward compatibility with old docutils

As reported by Akira, older docutils versions are not compatible
with the way some Sphinx versions send tab_width. Add a code to
address it.

Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-doc/598b2cb7-2fd7-4388-96ba-2ddf0ab55d2a@gmail.com/
