docs: Add "Provided-by" to doc XML and CLI output.

For application, function, manager, managerEvent, managerEventInstance
and info XML documentation nodes, the make_xml_documentation script will
add a "module" attribute if not already present.  For XML in separate
"*_doc.xml" files, the script figures out the correct module name.  For
documentation in the "main" directory, the module name is set to "builtin".

The CLI handlers for "core show application", "core show function",
"manager show command" and "manager show event", have been updated to
show the following after the Synopsis...

```
[Provided By]
<modulename>
```

For modules that provide additional "info" elements (like the technologies
do for Dial), the providing module has also been added.

```
Technology: WebSocket  Provided by: chan_websocket
WebSocket Dial Strings:
...
```

UserNote: The CLI help for applications, functions, manager commands and
manager events now shows the module that provides its functionality.
