docs: ide: 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.

 Drives are normally found by auto-probing and/or examining the CMOS/BIOS data.
 For really weird situations, the apparent (fdisk) geometry can also be specified

+on the kernel "command line" using LILO.  The format of such lines is::

 If the auto-probing during boot time confuses a drive (ie. the drive works
 with hd.c but not with ide.c), then an command line option may be specified
 for each drive for which you'd like the drive to skip the hardware
-probe/identification sequence.  For example:

 If for some reason your cdrom drive is *not* found at boot time, you can force
 the probe to look harder by supplying a kernel command line parameter
-via LILO, such as:

 For example, a GW2000 system might have a hard drive on the primary

-(/dev/hdc).  To mount a CD in the cdrom drive, one would use something like:

 	ln -sf /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom
 	mkdir /mnt/cdrom
 	mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom -t iso9660 -o ro
 
 If, after doing all of the above, mount doesn't work and you see
