Import as-is much of the old "Patches" wiki page to the current
sending_patches.rst file. This means we need to move patman to being
included in the higher level ToC and add a reference for "Custodians" in
the process document. A very minimal amount of content changing and
rewording is done here as part of the import, in order to make the
conversion easier.

This resyncs us with the version found in v5.13 of the Linux kernel with
the following exceptions:
- Keep our u-boot specific tests / code area.
- Change the location of checkpatch.rst (which we now import)
- Drop the "use strscpy" test as we don't have that, but do have strlcpy
and want that used now.
- Keep debug/printf in the list for $logFunctions
And note that we now also include the spdxcheck.py tool that
checkpatch.pl supports calling out to, and include upstream's
checkpatch.rst in our develop section of the documentation.
