spi: docs: convert to ReST and add it to the kABI bookset
While there's one file there with briefily describes the uAPI, the documentation was written just like most subsystems: focused on kernel developers. So, add it together with driver-api books.

for configuring device specific CS setup, hold and inactive timing
requirements.

+SPI userspace API
+=================

SPI devices have a limited userspace API, supporting basic half-duplex
read() and write() access to SPI slave devices. Using ioctl() requests,
full duplex transfers and device I/O configuration are also available.
