Add cross references for the documents mentioned at HOWTO and
are under the Documentation/ directory, using the ReST notation.
It should be noticed that HOWTO also mentions the /README file.
We opted to not touch it, for now, as making it build on
Sphinx would require it to be moved to a Documentation/foo
directory.

The old link to source code cross reference does not work now. Though
the link has updated by commit 1d12554f0a
("Documentation: HOWTO: update code cross reference link"), there are
few obsolete links yet. This commit update them.

The #kernelnewbies irc channel is no longer hosted on
irc.openprojects.net but on irc.oftc.net.
Removed pointer to different regional servers since oftc already uses
geo-IP load balancing.
The "description" quoted from the website no longer exists,
therefore removed the reference, quotes and carets.
The paragraph also contains a pointer to the kernelnewbies.org website.
Therefore changing the title to:
"Kernel Newbies IRC Channel and Website."

There are numerous broken references to Documentation files (in other
Documentation files, in comments, etc.). These broken references are
caused by typo's in the references, and by renames or removals of the
Documentation files. Some broken references are simply odd.
Fix these broken references, sometimes by dropping the irrelevant text
they were part of.

Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch
updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/*
Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult,
the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated.
Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching
on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address
to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users.

Most of these fixes were already submitted for old kernel versions, and were
approved, but for some reason they never made it into the releases.
Because this is a consolidation of a couple old missed patches, it touches both
Kconfigs and documentation texts.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
