5c050fb963 docs: update the development process document
Here's a set of changes updating Documentation/development-process.  I have
update kernel releases and relevant statistics, added information for a
couple of tools, zapped some trailing white space, and generally tried to
make it more closely match the current state of affairs.

[Typo fixes from Joe Perches and Nicolas Kaiser incorporated]

e4fabad30e Documentation/development-process: use -next trees instead of staging
This is confusing, as we have "staging" trees for drivers/staging.  Call
them -next trees.
