docs: filesystems: convert gfs2-uevents.txt to ReST

This document is almost in ReST format: all it needs is to have
the titles adjusted and add a SPDX header. In other words:

- Add a SPDX header;
- Add a document title;
- Adjust section titles;
- Add it to filesystems/index.rst.

uevents and GFS2
================
During the lifetime of a GFS2 mount, a number of uevents are generated.
This document explains what the events are and what they are used
for (by gfs_controld in gfs2-utils).
