doc: Doxygen settings, codes for errors

Installation
------------

Requirements:
- gcc 4.9.3
- python 2.7.10

The following are only required if making changes to the parser or compiling from github
- bison 3.3.2
- automake 1.16.1

GUI requirements:
- kivy 1.10.0
- pyinstaller 3.1.1 (for standalone check_cvc)

Should be able to install CVC after cloning the repo by:

1. autoreconf -vif
2. ./configure --disable-nls [--prefix=<install_directory>]
3. make
4. make install

If that doesn't work, try:

1. download tarball from release page https://github.com/d-m-bailey/cvc/releases.
2. extract
3. cd cvc-\<version>
4. autoreconf -vif
5. ./configure --disable-nls [--prefix=<install_directory>]
6. make
7. make install

There have been problems compiling check_cvc on some Linux platfroms.
If GUI check_cvc does not compile, try
export SDL_VIDEO_X11_VISUALID=

If that still doesn't work, the check_cvc.py file in src_py can also be run via IDLE on PCs.
Just transfer the \*.log and \*.error.gz files.
