Mauro's patch set introduced some bare :: lines; these can be represented
by a double colon at the end of the preceding text line. The result looks
a little less weird and is less verbose.

Do a series of minor improvements at the ReST output format:
- Instead of using the quote blocks (::) for quotes, use
italics. That looks nicer on epub (and html) output, as
no scroll bar will be added. Also, it will adjust line
breaks on the text automatically.
- Add a missing reference to SubmittingPatches.rst and use
**foo** instead of _foo_.
- use bold for "The Perfect Patch" by removing a newline.

Add cross references for the documents mentioned at HOWTO and
are under the Documentation/ directory, using the ReST notation.
It should be noticed that HOWTO also mentions the /README file.
We opted to not touch it, for now, as making it build on
Sphinx would require it to be moved to a Documentation/foo
directory.

Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch
updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/*
Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult,
the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated.
Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching
on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address
to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users.

One of the roles which -mm fulfilled some time ago (to offer an
integration testing ground) has been taken over by -next. This is still
news to Documentation/HOWTO, so mention it there.
Also add a word on how patchwork is used to track patches as they make
their way into subsystem trees. Remove some arbitrary links to
subsystem repositories; they can all be found in the MAINTAINERS
database.
