docs: bug-bisect: rewrite to better match the other bisecting text Rewrite the short document on bisecting kernel bugs. The new text improves .config handling, brings a mention of 'git bisect skip', and explains what to do after the bisection finished -- including trying a revert to verify the result. The rewrite at the same time removes the unrelated and outdated section on 'Devices not appearing' and replaces some sentences about bug reporting with a pointer to the document covering that topic in detail. This overall brings the approach close to the one in the recently added text Documentation/admin-guide/verify-bugs-and-bisect-regressions.rst. As those two texts serve a similar purpose for different audiences, mention that document in the head of this one and outline when the other might be the better one to follow.

docs: bug-bisect: rewrite to better match the other bisecting text Rewrite the short document on bisecting kernel bugs. The new text improves .config handling, brings a mention of 'git bisect skip', and explains what to do after the bisection finished -- including trying a revert to verify the result. The rewrite at the same time removes the unrelated and outdated section on 'Devices not appearing' and replaces some sentences about bug reporting with a pointer to the document covering that topic in detail. This overall brings the approach close to the one in the recently added text Documentation/admin-guide/verify-bugs-and-bisect-regressions.rst. As those two texts serve a similar purpose for different audiences, mention that document in the head of this one and outline when the other might be the better one to follow.
