Documentation: move dev-tools debugging files to process/debugging/docs-mw
Move gdb and kgdb debugging documentation to the dedicated debugging directory (Documentation/process/debugging/). Adjust the index.rst files to follow the file movement. Adjust files that refer to these moved files to follow the file movement. Update location of kgdb.rst in MAINTAINERS file. Add a link from dev-tools/index to process/debugging/index. Note: translations are not updated.
