vme: Convert documentation to reStructuredText, move under driver APIs

Perform a relatively simple conversion of vme_api.txt to reStructuredText
and move under driver-api, which seems the most logical place for this
documentation.

Driver registration

As with other subsystems within the Linux kernel, VME device drivers register
