docs: filesystems: convert befs.txt to ReST
- Add a SPDX header;
- Adjust document and section titles;
- Some whitespace fixes and new line breaks;
- Mark literal blocks as such;
- Add table markups;
- Add it to filesystems/index.rst.

What is this Driver?
39

====================
40
+
This module implements the native filesystem of BeOS http://www.beincorporated.com/
35
41
for the linux 2.4.1 and later kernels. Currently it is a read-only
36
42
implementation.

Which is it, BFS or BEFS?

Be, Inc said, "BeOS Filesystem is officially called BFS, not BeFS".

=========================
46
+
Be, Inc said, "BeOS Filesystem is officially called BFS, not BeFS".
41
47
But Unixware Boot Filesystem is called bfs, too. And they are already in
42
48
the kernel. Because of this naming conflict, on Linux the BeOS
43
49
filesystem is called befs.

step 2. Configuration & make kernel

The linux kernel has many compile-time options. Most of them are beyond the

scope of this document. I suggest the Kernel-HOWTO document as a good general
