docs: admin-guide: add auxdisplay files to it after conversion to ReST
Those two files describe userspace-faced information. While part of
it might fit on uAPI, it sounds to me that the admin guide is the
best place for them.

Userspace Programming +------------------------ + +The cfag12864bfb describes a framebuffer device (/dev/fbX). + +It has a size of 1024 bytes = 1 Kbyte. +Each bit represents one pixel.
