tools/docs/get_feat.py: convert get_feat.pl to Python

As we want to call Python code directly at the Sphinx extension,
convert get_feat.pl to Python.

The code was made to be (almost) bug-compatible with the Perl
version, with two exceptions:

1. Currently, Perl script outputs a wrong table if arch is set
to a non-existing value;

2. the ReST table output when --feat is used without --arch
has an invalid format, as the number of characters for the
table delimiters are wrong.

Those two bugs were fixed while testing the conversion.

Additionally, another caveat was solved:
the output when --feat is used without arch and the feature
doesn't exist doesn't contain an empty table anymore.
