docs: Extend and refactor index of further kernel docs

Extend the Index of Further Kernel Documentation by adding entries for the
Rust for Linux website, the Linux Foundation's YouTube channel, and notes
on the second edition of Billimoria's kernel programming book. Also,
perform some refactoring: format the text to 75 characters per line and
sort per-section content in chronological order of publication.

Index of Further Kernel Documentation
=====================================
The need for a document like this one became apparent in the
linux-kernel mailing list as the same questions, asking for pointers
to information, appeared again and again.

Fortunately, as more and more people get to GNU/Linux, more and more
get interested in the Kernel. But reading the sources is not always
enough. It is easy to understand the code, but miss the concepts, the
philosophy and design decisions behind this code.

Unfortunately, not many documents are available for beginners to
start. And, even if they exist, there was no "well-known" place which
kept track of them. These lines try to cover this lack.

PLEASE, if you know any paper not listed here or write a new document,
include a reference to it here, following the kernel's patch submission
process. Any corrections, ideas or comments are also welcome.
All documents are cataloged with the following fields: the document's
"Title", the "Author"/s, the "URL" where they can be found, some
"Keywords" helpful when searching for specific topics, and a brief
"Description" of the Document.
