ABI: pstore: Fix What field

If both /sys/fs/pstore/... and /dev/pstore/... are possible,
it should use, instead, two What: fields.

docs: ABI: cleanup several ABI documents

There are some ABI documents that, while they don't generate
any warnings, they have issues when parsed by get_abi.pl script
on its output result.

Address them, in order to provide a clean output.

ABI: fix some syntax issues at the ABI database

On those three files, the ABI representation described at
README are violated.

- at sysfs-bus-iio-proximity-as3935:
a ':' character is missing after "What"

- at sysfs-class-devfreq:
there's a typo at Description

- at sysfs-class-cxl, it is using the ":" character at a
file preamble, causing it to be misinterpreted as a
tag.

- On the other files, instead of "What", they use "Where".

pstore: Create a convenient mount point for pstore

Using /dev/pstore as a mount point for the pstore filesystem is slightly
awkward. We don't normally mount filesystems in /dev/ and the /dev/pstore
file isn't created automatically by anything. While this method will
still work, we can create a persistent mount point in sysfs. This will
put pstore on par with things like cgroups and efivarfs.

pstore: Allow the user to explicitly choose a backend

pstore only allows one backend to be registered at present, but the
system may provide several. Add a parameter to allow the user to choose
which backend will be used rather than just relying on load order.

pstore: use mount option instead sysfs to tweak kmsg_bytes

/sys/fs is a somewhat strange way to tweak what could more
obviously be tuned with a mount option.

pstore: new filesystem interface to platform persistent storage

Some platforms have a small amount of non-volatile storage that
can be used to store information useful to diagnose the cause of
a system crash. This is the generic part of a file system interface
that presents information from the crash as a series of files in
/dev/pstore. Once the information has been seen, the underlying
storage is freed by deleting the files.
