9799445af1 docs: tidy up TOCs and refs to license-rules.rst
The documentation and TOCs are organized in a manner of a tree. Adding a TOC to
the root, which refers to a file which is located in a subfolder forms a
grid. Those TOCs are a bit confusing and thats why we get additional error
messages while building partial documentation::

  $ make SPHINXDIRS=process htmldocs
  ...
  checking consistency... Documentation/process/license-rules.rst: \
  WARNING: document isn't included in any toctree

To fix it, the *root-license-TOC* is replaced by a reference and the
'license-roles.txt' is added to the Documentation/process/index.rst TOC.

BTW: there was an old licences remark in Documentation/process/howto.rst which
is also updated, mentioning SPDX and pointing to the license-rules.rst

388f9b20f9 Documentation/process/howto: Only send regression fixes after -rc1
The original text was not clear if white space or other harmless patches
should be merged in -rc kernels.  The discussion at Kernel Summit said
that we should be more strict about sending regression fixes only.

186128f753 docs-rst: add documents to development-process
Add several documents to the development-process ReST book.

As we don't want renames, use symlinks instead, keeping those
documents on their original place.
