arm: docs: Move Arm documentation to Documentation/arch/
Architecture-specific documentation is being moved into Documentation/arch/
as a way of cleaning up the top-level documentation directory and making
the docs hierarchy more closely match the source hierarchy. Move
Documentation/arm into arch/ (along with the Chinese equvalent
translations).

It contains the base clock, GPIO and device definitions + to get the system running. + + plat-s5p is for s5p specific builds, and contains common support for the + S5P specific systems.
