docs: add two documents about regression handling
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
Create two documents explaining various aspects around regression
handling and tracking; one is aimed at users, the other targets
developers.

The texts among others describes the first rule of Linux kernel
development and what it means in practice. They also explain what a
regression actually is and how to report one properly.

Both texts additionally provide a brief introduction to the bot the
kernel's regression tracker uses to facilitate the work, but mention the
use is optional.

To sum things up, provide a few quotes from Linus in the document for
developers to show how serious we take regressions.
