The Kdump documentation describes procedures with admins use
in order to solve issues on their systems.

Convert kdump documentation to ReST and add it to the
user faced manual, as the documents are mainly focused on
sysadmins that would be enabling kdump.
Note: the vmcoreinfo.rst has one very long title on one of its
sub-sections:
PG_lru|PG_private|PG_swapcache|PG_swapbacked|PG_slab|PG_hwpoision|PG_head_mask|PAGE_BUDDY_MAPCOUNT_VALUE(~PG_buddy)|PAGE_OFFLINE_MAPCOUNT_VALUE(~PG_offline)
I opted to break this one, into two entries with the same content,
in order to make it easier to display after being parsed in html and PDF.
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 to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

- Use the same file name in the explanation and in the example (conex.c vs
sonixj.c)
- Add a missing ':' in a :ref: tag which leads to incorrect Shpinx output
- Add some missing ',' and ';'

Now that oops-tracing.rst has only information about
stack dumps found on OOPS, and bug-hunting.rst has only
information about how to identify the source code line
associated with a stack dump, let's merge them and
improve the information inside it.

Better organize the admin guide documentation by moving the
bug bisect to a separate file.

The document shows a really old procedure for bug hunting that
nobody uses anymore. Remove such section, and update the
remaining documentation to reflect the procedures used
currently.

The previous patch renamed several files that are cross-referenced
along the Kernel documentation. Adjust the links to point to
the right places.

Place README, REPORTING-BUGS, SecurityBugs and kernel-parameters
on an user's manual book.
As we'll be numbering the user's manual, remove the manual
numbering from SecurityBugs.
