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.
