Mauro Carvalho Chehab ab42b81895 docs: fb: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst
The conversion is actually:
  - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
  - fix tables markups;
  - add some lists markups;
  - mark literal blocks;
  - adjust title markups.

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.

Also, removed the Maintained by, as requested by Geert.

MacMini :
video=efifb:mini
Macbook Pro 15", iMac 17" :
video=efifb:i17

video=efifb:i20
Accepted options:
======= ===========================================================
nowc Don't map the framebuffer write combined. This can be used
to workaround side-effects and slowdowns on other CPU cores
when large amounts of console data are written.
