doc: ReSTify and split LSM.txt

The existing LSM.txt file covered both usage and development, so split
this into two files, one under admin-guide and one under kernel
development.

+===========================
+Linux Security Module Usage
+===========================
 
 The Linux Security Module (LSM) framework provides a mechanism for
 various security checks to be hooked by new kernel extensions. The name
 "module" is a bit of a misnomer since these extensions are not actually
 loadable kernel modules. Instead, they are selectable at build-time via
 CONFIG_DEFAULT_SECURITY and can be overridden at boot-time via the
-"security=..." kernel command line argument, in the case where multiple

 Without a specific LSM built into the kernel, the default LSM will be the

 system, building their checks on top of the defined capability hooks.

 the one "major" module (e.g. SELinux) if there is one configured.
