docs: sysctl: convert to ReST

Rename the /proc/sys/ documentation files to ReST, using the
README file as a template for an index.rst, adding the other
files there via TOC markup.

Despite being written on different times with different
styles, try to make them somewhat coherent with a similar
look and feel, ensuring that they'll look nice as both
raw text file and as via the html output produced by the
Sphinx build system.

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.

-Documentation for /proc/sys/		kernel version 2.2.10
-	(c) 1998, 1999,  Rik van Riel <riel@nl.linux.org>

-'Why', I hear you ask, 'would anyone even _want_ documentation
-for them sysctl files? If anybody really needs it, it's all in
-the source...'
-
-Well, this documentation is written because some people either
-don't know they need to tweak something, or because they don't
-have the time or knowledge to read the source code.
-
-Furthermore, the programmers who built sysctl have built it to
-be actually used, not just for the fun of programming it :-)
-
-==============================================================
-
-Legal blurb:
-
-As usual, there are two main things to consider:
-1. you get what you pay for
-2. it's free
-
-The consequences are that I won't guarantee the correctness of
-this document, and if you come to me complaining about how you
-screwed up your system because of wrong documentation, I won't
-feel sorry for you. I might even laugh at you...
-
-But of course, if you _do_ manage to screw up your system using
-only the sysctl options used in this file, I'd like to hear of
-it. Not only to have a great laugh, but also to make sure that
-you're the last RTFMing person to screw up.
-
-In short, e-mail your suggestions, corrections and / or horror
-stories to: <riel@nl.linux.org>

-Introduction:
-
-Sysctl is a means of configuring certain aspects of the kernel
-at run-time, and the /proc/sys/ directory is there so that you
-don't even need special tools to do it!
-In fact, there are only four things needed to use these config
-facilities:
-- a running Linux system
-- root access
-- common sense (this is especially hard to come by these days)
-- knowledge of what all those values mean
-
-As a quick 'ls /proc/sys' will show, the directory consists of
-several (arch-dependent?) subdirs. Each subdir is mainly about
-one part of the kernel, so you can do configuration on a piece
-by piece basis, or just some 'thematic frobbing'.
-
-The subdirs are about:
-abi/		execution domains & personalities
-debug/		<empty>
-dev/		device specific information (eg dev/cdrom/info)
-fs/		specific filesystems
-		filehandle, inode, dentry and quota tuning
-		binfmt_misc <Documentation/admin-guide/binfmt-misc.rst>
-kernel/		global kernel info / tuning
-		miscellaneous stuff
-net/		networking stuff, for documentation look in:
-		<Documentation/networking/>
-proc/		<empty>
-sunrpc/		SUN Remote Procedure Call (NFS)
-vm/		memory management tuning
-		buffer and cache management
-user/		Per user per user namespace limits
-
-These are the subdirs I have on my system. There might be more
-or other subdirs in another setup. If you see another dir, I'd
-really like to hear about it :-)
