docs: kdoc_item: add support to generate a KdocItem from a dict

When reading the contents on a KdocItem using YAML, the data
will be imported into a dict.

Add a method to create a new KdocItem from a dict to allow
converting such input into a real KdocItem.

While here, address an issue that, if the class is initialized
with an internal parameter outside the 4 initial arguments,
it would end being added inside other_stuff, which breaks
initializing it from a dict.
