Documentation: dev-tools: properly format ToC headingss

"class:: toc-title" was a workaround for older Sphinx versions that are
no longer supported.

The canonical way to add a heading to the ToC is to use :caption:.
Do that.

already in use in the kernel: additional features can be added as they
become necessary and used.

Documentation: dev-tools: Add Testing Overview

The kernel now has a number of testing and debugging tools, and we've
seen a bit of confusion about what the differences between them are.

Add a basic documentation outlining the testing tools, when to use each,
and how they interact.

This is a pretty quick overview rather than the idealised "kernel
testing guide" that'd probably be optimal, but given the number of times
questions like "When do you use KUnit and when do you use Kselftest?"
are being asked, it seemed worth at least having something. Hopefully
this can form the basis for more detailed documentation later.

docs: add documentation for checkpatch

Add documentation for kernel script checkpatch.pl.
This documentation is also parsed by checkpatch to
enable a verbose mode.

The checkpatch message types are grouped by usage. Under
