Jesper Dangaard Brouer 192092faa0 bpf, doc: rename txt files to rst files
This will cause them to get auto rendered, e.g. when viewing them on GitHub.
Followup patches will correct the content to be RST compliant.

Also adjust README.rst to point to the renamed files.

=================
BPF documentation
=================
This directory contains documentation for the BPF (Berkeley Packet
Filter) facility, with a focus on the extended BPF version (eBPF).
This kernel side documentation is still work in progress. The main
textual documentation is (for historical reasons) described in
`Documentation/networking/filter.txt`_, which describe both classical
and extended BPF instruction-set.
The Cilium project also maintains a `BPF and XDP Reference Guide`_
that goes into great technical depth about the BPF Architecture.
The primary info for the bpf syscall is available in the `man-pages`_
for `bpf(2)`_.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
================================
Two sets of Questions and Answers (Q&A) are maintained.
* QA for common questions about BPF see: bpf_design_QA_
* QA for developers interacting with BPF subsystem: bpf_devel_QA_
