Ichthyostega 555af315b3 Upgrade: improve Doxygen parameters and treat some warnings
- remove obsolete configuration settings
- walk through all settings according to the documentation
  https://www.doxygen.nl/manual/config.html
- now try to use the new feature to rely on Clang for C++ parsing
- walk through the doxygen-warnings.txt and fix some obvious misspellings
  and structural problems in the documentation comments.

With Debian-Trixie, we are now using Doxygen 1.9.8 —
which produces massively better results in various fine points.

However, there are still problems with automatic cross links,
especially from implementation to the corresponding test classes.

/** @file config-rules.hpp
** Interface for accessing rule based configuration.
** By using the Query template, you can pose a query in prolog syntax and get some
** existing or newly created object fulfilling the requested predicates. The actual
** implementation will be hidden behind a `instance` (Singleton factory). As of 1/2008,
** it is _planned_ to use an embedded YAP Prolog system at some point in the future,
** for now we use a [mock implementation](\ref fake-configrules.hpp) based on lookup in
** a hard-wired, preconfigured Map.
**
** Fully implementing this facility would require the participating objects to register capabilities
** they want to provide, together with functors carrying out the necessary configuration steps.
** All details and consequences of this approach still have to be worked out...
**
** \par relation to Query and QueryResolver
** The ConfigRules resolver is just a special kind of QueryResolver, able to handle specific kinds
** of queries. Clients using the ConfigRules directly get a more easy to use point-and-shot style
** interface, allowing just to retrieve some _suitable solution_, instead of having to iterate
** through a result set.
**
** @todo right now (12/2012) the above paragraph is a lie.
** ConfigQuery is way older than QueryResolver and will be retrofitted step by step.
** Not much of a problem, since the currently utilised mock implementation isn't able to
** deal with a real query anyway.
**
** @note this is rather a concept draft and left as such for now... don't take this code too literal!
** @todo clarify the relation of config query and query-for-defaults ///////////////TICKET #705
** @todo as of 11/2016 the situation is basically the same: this is placeholder code
** and just implemented enough to keep us going without violating the architecture vision
**
** @see lumiera::Query
** @see mobject::session::DefsManager
** @see asset::StructFactory
** @see config-resolver.hpp specialised setup for the Steam-Layer
** @see fake-configrules.hpp currently used dummy-implementation
