Two parts of the sysrq documentation have sentences written from a first
person's point of view.
Documentation is generally written from a third person's view in a
formal way.
Convert those senteces to be less personal and generic.

After commit 8341f2f222 ("sysrq: Use panic() to force a crash"),
a crash was not generated by dereferencing a NULL pointer anymore.
Let's update documentation as well to make it less misleading.

All slots in sysrq_key_table[] are either used, reserved or at least
commented with their intended use. This patch adds capital letter versions
available, which means adding 26 more entries.
For already existing SysRq operations the user presses Alt-SysRq-<key>, and
for the newly added ones Alt-Shift-SysRq-<key>.

The user is not supposed to thinker with the underlying sysrq_key_op.
Make that explicit by adding a handful of const notations.

"On x86" and "On SPARC" are now definition list terms, like
"On PowerPC", "On other", and "On all".
The Credits list is now a bulleted list, like lots of Credits lists in
other files. This prevents the list from becoming a single long,
unpunctuated sentence in the generated documentation.
I also did a couple of other tiny readability improvements to the
"How do I use the magic SysRq key?" section while I was there.

This advice is obsolete and slightly harmful for filesystems from this
millenium: any modern filesystem can handle unexpected crashes without
requiring fsck -- and on the other hand, trying to write to the disk when
the kernel is in a bad state risks introducing corruption.
For ext2, any unsafe shutdown meant widespread breakage, but it's no longer
a reasonable filesystem for any non-special use.

Place README, REPORTING-BUGS, SecurityBugs and kernel-parameters
on an user's manual book.
As we'll be numbering the user's manual, remove the manual
numbering from SecurityBugs.
