docs: riscv: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst

The conversion here is trivial:
 - Adjust the document title's markup
 - Do some whitespace alignment;
 - mark literal blocks;
 - Use ReST way to markup indented lists.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

At this stage, a general event is bound to a physical counter, if any.
The state changes to PERF_HES_STOPPED and PERF_HES_UPTODATE, because it is now
stopped, and the (software) event count does not need updating.
** *start* is then called, and the counter is enabled.
- *start* is then called, and the counter is enabled.
With flag PERF_EF_RELOAD, it writes an appropriate value to the counter (check
previous section for detail).
Nothing is written if the flag does not contain PERF_EF_RELOAD.
The state now is reset to none, because it is neither stopped nor updated
(the counting already started)
* When being context-switched out, *del* is called. It then checks out all the
events in the PMU and calls *stop* to update their counts.
** *stop* is called by *del*
- *stop* is called by *del*
and the perf core with flag PERF_EF_UPDATE, and it often shares the same

needs a quick stop-and-start, for instance, when the interrupt period is being
adjusted.
