[PATCH v4 17/29] Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt: convert it to ReST markup

[Mauro Carvalho Chehab]

- add cross-references to the options;
- mark code blocks;
- a few minor changes to make Sphinx happy.

[PATCH v4 22/29] Documentation/HOWTO: add cross-references to other documents

[Mauro Carvalho Chehab]

Add cross references for the documents mentioned at HOWTO and
are under the Documentation/ directory, using the ReST notation.

It should be noticed that HOWTO also mentions the /README file.
We opted to not touch it, for now, as making it build on
Sphinx would require it to be moved to a Documentation/foo
directory.
