An effort was started some time ago to consolidate all internal
documentation in the git tree. However, this was just an accumulation of
files in various formats without any strucutre or way to browse it,
which results in no one even knowing that we have docs here.
This converts most of the files to restructuredtext and uses Sphinx to
generate an HTML browsable user manual (with a table of content and a
first attempt to put things in a global hierarchy).
There are almost no changes to the documentation content in this commit
(some obviously obsolete things were removed). The plan is to get the
toolchain up and running to make these docs easily available, and only
then see about improving the content. We can migrate some things off the
wiki and website, and rework the table of contents to have some more
hierarchy levels because currently it's a bit messy.

Fixes bfs part of #10336. Untested on SATA (don't have a testing drive
to sacrifice) but working fine on SD/MMC.
This requires moving the copy from kernel to userland into the devfs. As
a result the code in the disk drivers becomes a bit simpler.
Also add some documentation for the common ioctls to implement for a
disk device.
