Documentation/process: maintainer-soc: add clean platforms profile

Some SoC platforms require that commits must not bring any new
dtbs_check warnings. Maintainers of such platforms usually have some
automation set, so any new warning will be spotted sooner or later.
Worst case: they run the tests themselves. Document requirements for
such platforms, so contributors can expect their patches being dropped
or ignored, if they bring new warnings for existing boards.

Documentation/process: Add a maintainer handbook for KVM x86

Add a KVM x86 doc to the subsystem/maintainer handbook section to explain
how KVM x86 (currently) operates as a sub-subsystem, and to soapbox on
the rules and expectations for contributing to KVM x86.

Documentation/process: add soc maintainer handbook

Arnd suggested that adding a maintainer handbook for the SoC "subsystem"
would be helpful in trying to bring on board maintainers for the various
new platforms cropping up in RISC-V land.

Add a document briefly describing the role of the SoC subsystem and some
basic advice for (new) platform maintainers.

docs: netdev: move the netdev-FAQ to the process pages

The documentation for the tip tree is really in quite a similar
spirit to the netdev-FAQ. Move the netdev-FAQ to the process docs
as well.

Documentation/process: Add tip tree handbook

Add a document to the subsystem/maintainer handbook section, which explains
what the tip tree is, how it operates and what rules and expectations it
has.

[ bp:

- Add a SPDX identifier, work in most comments from the thread.
- 9bf19b78a203 ("Documentation/submitting-patches: Document the SoB
chain") is also in the main Documentation but I'm leaving the
paragraph here because it has the proper structure - text talks about
SoBs and referencing somewhere else would interrupt the flow.
- Move backtraces in changelogs to main submitting-patches.rst.
- "Patch version information" is explained to a great detail in
submitting-patches.rst too.
- Hyperlink resend reminders section.

Documentation/process: Add maintainer handbooks section

General rules for patch submission, coding style and related details are
available, but most subsystems have their subsystem-specific extra rules
which differ or go beyond the common rules.

Mark suggested to add a subsystem/maintainer handbook section, where
subsystem maintainers can explain their specific quirks.

Add the section and link to it from the submitting-patches document.

[ bp: Add a SPDX identifier. ]
