drm/doc: Add RFC section

Motivated by the pre-review process for i915 gem/gt features, but
probably useful in general for complex stuff.

v2: Add reminder to not forget userspace projects in the discussion
(Simon, Jason)

v3: Actually put this into a folder, so we have it all (.rst files and
headers for kerneldoc) contained somewhere separate (Jason)

GPU RFC Section
===============
For complex work, especially new uapi, it is often good to nail the high level
design issues before getting lost in the code details. This section is meant to
host such documentation:
* Each RFC should be a section in this file, explaining the goal and main design
considerations. Especially for uapi make sure you Cc: all relevant project
mailing lists and involved people outside of dri-devel.
* For uapi structures add a file to this directory with and then pull the
kerneldoc in like with real uapi headers.
* Once the code has landed move all the documentation to the right places in
the main core, helper or driver sections.
