Setting a reasonable width to \tymin prevents column squeezing
by tabulary.
Width of 20em works well in almost all the tables still in the
ascii-art format.
Excerpt from tabulary package documentation at [1]:
To stop very narrow columns being too 'squeezed' by this process
any columns that are narrower than \tymin are set to their natural
width.
[1]: https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/tabulary/tabulary.pdf
Note: Sphinx has its own default value of \tymin set in
sphinxlatextables.sty (Sphinx 4.0.2) and sphinxmulticell.sty
(Sphinx 2.4.4) as follows:
\setlength{\tymin}{3\fontcharwd\font`0 }
, which is not sufficient for kernel-doc.
Tested against Sphinx versions 2.4.4 and 4.0.2.

Hi all,
This is another attempt to improve pdfdocs output.
As far as I see, I don't see any obvious regression by
this change.
The effect of this change can be seen in (not limited to)
the MODULE_LICENSE section in process.pdf (pages 10 and 11).
I'd like to know this change looks reasonable to you.
Any feedback is welcome!
Thanks, Akira
