docs: conf.py: get rid of the now unused kerneldoc_bin env var
In the past, this contained the location of the binary file to parse kernel-doc. Nowadays, it is used only for debugging purposes, inside kerneldoc.py extension. Move it to sphinx/kerneldoc.py, to avoid needing to handle with it on several places.
