docs: target: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rstConvert the TCM docs to ReST format and add them to thebookset.This has a mix of userspace-faced and Kernelspace faceddocs. Still, it sounds a better candidate to be added atthe kernel API set of docs.The conversion is actually: - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs; - fix tables markups; - add some lists markups; - mark literal blocks; - adjust title markups.At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked tothe main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet List of files: /linux/tools/docs/documentation-file-ref-check
