Federico Vaga edba5eecfd doc:it_IT: add some process/* translations
This patch does not translate entirely the subfolder "process/"
but only part of it (to begin with).

In order to avoid broken links, I included empty documents
for those which are not yet translated.

In order to be able to refer to all documents in "process/",
I added a sphinx label to those which had not one.

Translated documents:
- howto
- 1.Intro
- clang-format
- coding-style
- kernel-driver-statement
- magic-number
- volatile-considered-harmful
- development-process

Kernel Driver Statement
-----------------------
Position Statement on Linux Kernel Modules
==========================================
We, the undersigned Linux kernel developers, consider any closed-source
Linux kernel module or driver to be harmful and undesirable. We have
repeatedly found them to be detrimental to Linux users, businesses, and
the greater Linux ecosystem. Such modules negate the openness,
stability, flexibility, and maintainability of the Linux development
model and shut their users off from the expertise of the Linux
community. Vendors that provide closed-source kernel modules force their
customers to give up key Linux advantages or choose new vendors.
Therefore, in order to take full advantage of the cost savings and
shared support benefits open source has to offer, we urge vendors to
adopt a policy of supporting their customers on Linux with open-source
kernel code.
We speak only for ourselves, and not for any company we might work for
today, have in the past, or will in the future.
