Add a little more stucture to the ALU/JMP documentation with sections and
improve the example text.

The eBPF instruction set document does not currently document the basic
instruction encoding. Add a section to do that.

The packet access instructions are a convoluted leftover from classic
BPF. Move them last past the much more important atomic operations,
and improve the rendering of the code example.

Use RST tables that are nicely readable both in plain ascii as well as
in html to render the instruction encodings, and add a few subheadings
to better structure the text.

Split the introductory that explain eBPF vs classic BPF and how it maps
to hardware from the instruction set specification into a standalone
document. This duplicates a little bit of information but gives us a
useful reference for the eBPF instrution set that is not encumbered by
classic BPF.

Use normal RST file reference instead of linkage copied from the old filter.rst
document that does not actually work when using HTML output.

filter.rst starts out documenting the classic BPF and then spills into
introducing and documentating eBPF. Move the eBPF documentation into
rwo new files under Documentation/bpf/ for the instruction set and
the verifier and link to the BPF documentation from filter.rst.
