[DOC] Use RDoc inclusions in string.c (#5683)
As @peterzhu2118 and @duerst have pointed out, putting string method's RDoc into doc/ (which allows non-ASCII in examples) makes the "click to toggle source" feature not work for that method. This PR moves the primary method doc back into string.c, then includes RDoc from doc/string/*.rdoc, and also removes doc/string.rdoc. The affected methods are: ::new #bytes #each_byte #each_line #split The call-seq is in string.c because it works there; it did not work when the call-seq is in doc/string/*.rdoc. This PR also updates the relevant guidance in doc/documentation_guide.rdoc.

+Returns an array of substrings of +self+
+that are the result of splitting +self+
+at each occurrence of the given field separator +field_sep+.
+
+When +field_sep+ is <tt>$;</tt>:
+
+- If <tt>$;</tt> is +nil+ (its default value),
+ the split occurs just as if +field_sep+ were given as a space character
+ (see below).
+
+- If <tt>$;</tt> is a string,
+ the split ocurs just as if +field_sep+ were given as that string
+ (see below).
+
+When +field_sep+ is <tt>' '</tt> and +limit+ is +nil+,
+the split occurs at each sequence of whitespace:
+
+ 'abc def ghi'.split(' ') => ["abc", "def", "ghi"]
+ "abc \n\tdef\t\n ghi".split(' ') # => ["abc", "def", "ghi"]
+ 'abc def ghi'.split(' ') => ["abc", "def", "ghi"]
+ ''.split(' ') => []
+
+When +field_sep+ is a string different from <tt>' '</tt>
+and +limit+ is +nil+,
+the split occurs at each occurrence of +field_sep+;
+trailing empty substrings are not returned:
+
+ 'abracadabra'.split('ab') => ["", "racad", "ra"]
+ 'aaabcdaaa'.split('a') => ["", "", "", "bcd"]
+ ''.split('a') => []
+ '3.14159'.split('1') => ["3.", "4", "59"]
+ '!@#$%^$&*($)_+'.split('$') # => ["!@#", "%^", "&*(", ")_+"]
+ 'тест'.split('т') => ["", "ес"]
+ 'こんにちは'.split('に') => ["こん", "ちは"]
+
+When +field_sep+ is a Regexp and +limit+ is +nil+,
+the split occurs at each occurrence of a match;
+trailing empty substrings are not returned:
+
+ 'abracadabra'.split(/ab/) # => ["", "racad", "ra"]
+ 'aaabcdaaa'.split(/a/) => ["", "", "", "bcd"]
+ 'aaabcdaaa'.split(//) => ["a", "a", "a", "b", "c", "d", "a", "a", "a"]
+ '1 + 1 == 2'.split(/\W+/) # => ["1", "1", "2"]
+
+If the \Regexp contains groups, their matches are also included
+in the returned array:
+
+ '1:2:3'.split(/(:)()()/, 2) # => ["1", ":", "", "", "2:3"]
+
+As seen above, if +limit+ is +nil+,
+trailing empty substrings are not returned;
+the same is true if +limit+ is zero:
+
+ 'aaabcdaaa'.split('a') => ["", "", "", "bcd"]
+ 'aaabcdaaa'.split('a', 0) # => ["", "", "", "bcd"]
+
+If +limit+ is positive integer +n+, no more than <tt>n - 1-</tt>
+splits occur, so that at most +n+ substrings are returned,
+and trailing empty substrings are included:
+
+ 'aaabcdaaa'.split('a', 1) # => ["aaabcdaaa"]
+ 'aaabcdaaa'.split('a', 2) # => ["", "aabcdaaa"]
+ 'aaabcdaaa'.split('a', 5) # => ["", "", "", "bcd", "aa"]
+ 'aaabcdaaa'.split('a', 7) # => ["", "", "", "bcd", "", "", ""]
+ 'aaabcdaaa'.split('a', 8) # => ["", "", "", "bcd", "", "", ""]
+
+Note that if +field_sep+ is a \Regexp containing groups,
+their matches are in the returned array, but do not count toward the limit.
+
+If +limit+ is negative, it behaves the same as if +limit+ was +nil+,
+meaning that there is no limit,
+and trailing empty substrings are included:
+
+ 'aaabcdaaa'.split('a', -1) # => ["", "", "", "bcd", "", "", ""]
+
+If a block is given, it is called with each substring:
+
+ 'abc def ghi'.split(' ') {|substring| p substring }
+
+Output:
+
+ "abc"
+ "def"
+ "ghi"
