docs: block: convert to ReST

Rename the block documentation files to ReST, add an
index for them and adjust in order to produce a nice html
output via the Sphinx build system.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

-To choose IO schedulers at boot time, use the argument 'elevator=deadline'.
-'noop' and 'cfq' (the default) are also available. IO schedulers are assigned
-globally at boot time only presently.
-
-Each io queue has a set of io scheduler tunables associated with it. These
-tunables control how the io scheduler works. You can find these entries
-in:
-
-/sys/block/<device>/queue/iosched
-
-assuming that you have sysfs mounted on /sys. If you don't have sysfs mounted,
-you can do so by typing:
-
-# mount none /sys -t sysfs
-
-It is possible to change the IO scheduler for a given block device on
-the fly to select one of mq-deadline, none, bfq, or kyber schedulers -
-which can improve that device's throughput.
-
-To set a specific scheduler, simply do this:
-
-echo SCHEDNAME > /sys/block/DEV/queue/scheduler
-
-where SCHEDNAME is the name of a defined IO scheduler, and DEV is the
-device name (hda, hdb, sga, or whatever you happen to have).
-
-The list of defined schedulers can be found by simply doing
-a "cat /sys/block/DEV/queue/scheduler" - the list of valid names
-will be displayed, with the currently selected scheduler in brackets:
-
-# cat /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
-[mq-deadline] kyber bfq none
-# echo none >/sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
-# cat /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
-[none] mq-deadline kyber bfq
