One section in submitting-drivers.rst was just a collection of references
to other external documentation. All except the one added in this commit
is already mentioned in kernel-docs or other places in the kernel
documentation.
Add Arjan van de Ven's article on How to NOT write kernel driver to this
index of further kernel documentation.

Remove and rephrase statements that only make sense if a single author
exclusively would maintain this document, but we would really want to
consider this being a page maintained by the kernel community, as it is
placed in the kernel repository, and let us hope that more contributors
suggest some more documents.
Further, do some minor word-smithing.

The original title comes from copying the content from a web page that
covered various mixed computer-science material. Within the kernel
documentation and its current structure, the title can be shortened.
Other titles considered, but not selected were:
- Index of More Kernel Documentation
- Further Kernel Documentation
- References to Further Kernel Documentation
Shorten the title.

The documents on each section of this document are ordered by its
published date, from the newest to the oldest.
In the kernel-docs.rst, the references on each section of this document
are intended to be ordered by its published date, from the newest to the
oldest. The Linux Kernel Module Programming Guide was published in 2021;
so, it is placed at the top as the most recent publication after the
rolling-version "Linux Kernel Mailing List Glossary" reference.

Rationale:
Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.
Deterministic algorithm:
For each file:
If not .svg:
For each line:
If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
return 200 OK and serve the same content:
Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

Before commit 9e03ea7f68 ("Documentation/kernel-docs.txt: convert it
to ReST markup"), it read:
Description: Linux Journal Kernel Korner article. Here is its
abstract: "..."
In Sphinx' HTML formatting, however, the "Here is its" doesn't make
sense anymore, because the "Abstract:" is clearly separated.

It's unnecessary to point to an external mirror of the Documentation
directory.
Jonathan Corbet writes in favor of removing this entry, instead of
moving it under "Docs at the Linux Kernel tree":
> We don't want to turn kernel-docs.rst into yet another out-of-date
> index for the rest of Documentation/, and the removal of the external
> URL takes away the only bit of additional information that this entry

Add several documents to the development-process ReST book.
As we don't want renames, use symlinks instead, keeping those
documents on their original place.
