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.

Convert the "should I use new or old comment formatting" to cover
all formatting. This makes the question itself shorter.

We want people to mark their patches with net and net-next in the subject.
Many miss doing that. Move the FAQ section which points that out up, and
place it after the section which enumerates the trees, that seems like
a pretty logical place for it. Since the two sections are together we
can remove a little bit (not too much) of the repetition.
v2: also remove the text for non-git setups, we want people to use git.

Join adjacent questions to a single question line. This fixes the
formatting of questions that were not part of the heading.
Also, drop Q: and A: prefixes. We don't need them now that questions and
answers are visually separated.

Preferred kernel docs format is now restructured text. Convert
netdev-FAQ.txt to restructured text.
- Add SPDX license identifier.
- Change file heading 'Information you need to know about netdev' to
'netdev FAQ' to better suit displayed index (in HTML).
- Change question/answer layout to suit rst. Copy format in
Documentation/bpf/bpf_devel_QA.rst
- Fix indentation of code snippets
- If multiple consecutive URLs appear put them in a list (to maintain
whitespace).
- Use uniform spelling of 'bug fix' throughout document (not bugfix or
bug-fix).
- Add double back ticks to 'net' and 'net-next' when referring to the
trees.
- Use rst references for Documentation/ links.
- Add rst label 'netdev-FAQ' for referencing by other docs files.
- Remove stale entry from Documentation/networking/00-INDEX
