docs: kdoc: handle the obsolescensce of docutils.ErrorString()

commit 00d95fcc4dee66dfb6980de6f2973b32f973a1eb upstream.

The ErrorString() and SafeString() docutils functions were helpers meant to
ease the handling of encodings during the Python 3 transition.  There is no
real need for them after Python 3.6, and docutils 0.22 removes them,
breaking the docs build

Handle this by just injecting our own one-liner version of ErrorString(),
and removing the sole SafeString() call entirely.
