docs: kdoc_parser: don't mangle with function defines
Mangling with #defines is not nice, as we may end removing
the macro names, preventing several macros from being properly
documented.
Also, on defines, we have something like:
#define foo(a1, a2, a3, ...) \
/* some real implementation */
The prototype part (first line on this example) won't contain
any macros, so no need to apply any regexes on it.
With that, move the apply_transforms() logic to ensure that
it will be called only on functions.
