Shift vorbisenc API docs into doxygen 2/2 (add doxygen)
Until now the libvorbisenc API has been documented via static html pages in doc/vorbisenc/. This patch moves that documentation into the vorbisenc.h header. For the most part, the text was copied unchanged, except where doxygen was better able to say something in its own way. For example, the \deprecated tag changed the format of deprecation messages. A few trivial misspelling's were fixed, including some that doxygen caught. Some of the narrative flow of the original was lost, as doxygen reorders documentation according to its own plan, so I changed a few phrases on account of this loss of context. Some ordinary comments in the header were obviated by the doxygen and removed. Neither the overview documentation in overview.html nor the examples in examples.html are included in the header, nor are the functions that are exposed by including vorbisenc.h but which are actually declared in codecs.h. Patch from Douglas Bagnall <douglas@paradise.net.nz>. svn path=/trunk/vorbis/; revision=16789
