5ef872636c kbuild: get rid of misleading $(AS) from documents
The assembler files in the kernel are *.S instead of *.s, so they must
be preprocessed. Since 'as' of GNU binutils is not able to preprocess,
we always use $(CC) as an assembler driver.

$(AS) is almost unused in Kbuild. As of v5.2, there is just one place
that directly invokes $(AS).

  $ git grep -e '$(AS)' -e '${AS}' -e '$AS' -e '$(AS:' -e '${AS:' -- :^Documentation
  drivers/net/wan/Makefile:  AS68K = $(AS)

The documentation about *_AFLAGS* sounds like the flags were passed
to $(AS). This is somewhat misleading.

168869492e docs: kbuild: fix build with pdf and fix some minor issues
The tag ".. include" should be replaced by ".. literalinclude" at
issues.rst, otherwise it causes TeX to crash due to excessive usage
of stack with Sphinx 2.0.

While here, solve a few minor issues at the kbuild book output by
adding extra blank lines.

cd238effef docs: kbuild: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst
The kbuild documentation clearly shows that the documents
there are written at different times: some use markdown,
some use their own peculiar logic to split sections.

Convert everything to ReST without affecting too much
the author's style and avoiding adding uneeded markups.

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.
