docs: namespaces: convert to ReST
Rename the namespaces documentation files to ReST, add an index for them and adjust in order to produce a nice html output via the Sphinx build system. There are two upper case file names. Rename them to lower case, as we're working to avoid upper case file names at Documentation. 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. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+samsung@kernel.org>
