griffe_inherited_method_crossrefs

Griffe extension to replace docstrings of inherited methods with cross-references to parent

For example, if a class foo.Child inherits the method do_something from bar.Parent, then in the generated documentation, the docstring of Child.do_something will appear similar to

Inherited from bar.Parent

whereas the docstring of bar.Parent.do_something will be unaffected.
