docs: cpu-freq: convert cpu-drivers.txt to ReST

- Add a SPDX header;
- Add a document title, based on the original contents of
  cpu-freq/index.txt;
- Use lists where needed;
- Comment out the existing text-only index;
- Adjust some title marks;
- Add table markups;
- Add notes markups;
- Mark literal blocks as such;
- use ``foo`` for literal texts;
- Some whitespace fixes and new line breaks;
- Add it to cpu-freq/index.rst.
