drm/doc: Add RFC section

Motivated by the pre-review process for i915 gem/gt features, but
probably useful in general for complex stuff.

v2: Add reminder to not forget userspace projects in the discussion
(Simon, Jason)

v3: Actually put this into a folder, so we have it all (.rst files and
headers for kerneldoc) contained somewhere separate (Jason)

+===============
+GPU RFC Section
+===============
+
+For complex work, especially new uapi, it is often good to nail the high level
+design issues before getting lost in the code details. This section is meant to
+host such documentation:
+
+* Each RFC should be a section in this file, explaining the goal and main design
+  considerations. Especially for uapi make sure you Cc: all relevant project
+  mailing lists and involved people outside of dri-devel.
+
+* For uapi structures add a file to this directory with and then pull the
+  kerneldoc in like with real uapi headers.
+
+* Once the code has landed move all the documentation to the right places in
+  the main core, helper or driver sections.
