Sparse's home page used to be a wiki (sparse.wiki.kernel.org)
but this wiki only contained a short intro and the release notes.
But nowadays, sparse's main page is sparse.docs.kernel.org,
which contains all what was in the wiki but also other documentation,
mainly oriented about sparse's internals.
So, add a link to this in the kernel documentation.

This fell into disrepair a while ago, and the majority of hits to the
snapshots were from bots, so it's more trouble to keep running than it's worth.

The sparse-based checking for non-RCU accesses to RCU-protected pointers
has been around for a very long time, and it is now the only type of
sparse-based checking that is optional. This commit therefore makes
it unconditional.

Add documentation of -DCONFIG_SPARSE_RCU_POINTER.
I started to add documentation of -D__CHECK_ENDIAN__ as well, but
discovered I'm too late; that's now enabled by default.

We dropped __CHECK_ENDIAN__ so __bitwise__ is now an implementation
detail. People should use __bitwise everywhere.

Fold the sparse document into the development tools set; no changes to the
text itself beyond formatting.
