doc: development-process: convert it to ReST markup
This document is on good shape for ReST: all it was needed was to fix the section markups, add a toctree, convert the tables and add a few code/quote blocks. While not strictly required, I opted to use lowercase for the titles, just like the other books that were converted to Sphinx. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>

+A guide to the Kernel Development Process
+=========================================

+ 8.Conclusion
+
+The purpose of this document is to help developers (and their managers)
+work with the development community with a minimum of frustration. It is
+an attempt to document how this community works in a way which is
+accessible to those who are not intimately familiar with Linux kernel
+development (or, indeed, free software development in general). While
+there is some technical material here, this is very much a process-oriented
+discussion which does not require a deep knowledge of kernel programming to
+understand.
