Documentation: update top level 00-INDEX file with new additions

This is a brief list of all the files in ./linux/Documentation and what

they contain. If you add a documentation file, please list it here in

alphabetical order as well, or risk being hunted down like a rabid dog.

Please try and keep the descriptions small enough to fit on one line.
