Hari Bathini 1679b96e69 powerpc/fadump: use FADump instead of fadump for how it is pronounced
fadump is pronounced f-a-dump. Update documentation accordingly. Also,
update how fadump_region contents look like with recent changes.

Hari Bathini 8468d15545 powerpc/fadump: Improve fadump documentation
The figures depicting FADump's (Firmware-Assisted Dump) memory layout
are missing some finer details like different memory regions and what
they represent. Improve the documentation by updating those details.

Mauro Carvalho Chehab 4d2e26a38f docs: powerpc: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst
Convert docs to ReST and add them to the arch-specific
book.

The conversion here was trivial, as almost every file there
was already using an elegant format close to ReST standard.

The changes were mostly to mark literal blocks and add a few
missing section title identifiers.

One note with regards to "--": on Sphinx, this can't be used
to identify a list, as it will format it badly. This can be
used, however, to identify a long hyphen - and "---" is an
even longer one.

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.
