RST conversion is happily mostly behind us.
- A new document on reproducible builds.
- We finally got around to zapping the documentation for hardware support
that was removed in 2004; one doesn't want to rush these things.
- The usual assortment of fixes, typo corrections, etc.
You'll still find a handful of annoying conflicts against other trees,
mostly tied to the last RST conversions; resolutions are straightforward
and the linux-next ones are good.

Part of the intention during the definition of the RISC-V kernel image
header was to lay the groundwork for a future merge with the ARM64
image header. One error during my original review was not noticing
that the RISC-V header's "magic" field was at a different size and
position than the ARM64's "magic" field. If the existing ARM64 Image
header parsing code were to attempt to parse an existing RISC-V kernel
image header format, it would see a magic number 0. This is
undesirable, since it's our intention to align as closely as possible
with the ARM64 header format. Another problem was that the original
"res3" field was not being initialized correctly to zero.
Address these issues by creating a 32-bit "magic2" field in the RISC-V
header which matches the ARM64 "magic" field. RISC-V binaries will
store "RSC\x05" in this field. The intention is that the use of the
existing 64-bit "magic" field in the RISC-V header will be deprecated
over time. Increment the minor version number of the file format to
indicate this change, and update the documentation accordingly. Fix
the assembler directives in head.S to ensure that reserved fields are
properly zero-initialized.

Currently, the last stage boot loaders such as U-Boot can accept only
uImage which is an unnecessary additional step in automating boot
process.
Add an image header that boot loader understands and boot Linux from
flat Image directly.
This header is based on ARM64 boot image header and provides an
opportunity to combine both ARM64 & RISC-V image headers in future.
Also make sure that PE/COFF header can co-exist in the same image so
that EFI stub can be supported for RISC-V in future. EFI specification
needs PE/COFF image header in the beginning of the kernel image in order
to load it as an EFI application. In order to support EFI stub, code0
should be replaced with "MZ" magic string and res4(at offset 0x3c)
should point to the rest of the PE/COFF header (which will be added
during EFI support).
Tested on both QEMU and HiFive Unleashed using OpenSBI + U-Boot + Linux.

The conversion here is trivial:
- Adjust the document title's markup
- Do some whitespace alignment;
- mark literal blocks;
- Use ReST way to markup indented lists.
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.
